AFRI 010A AF -Intro to Africana Studies
Institution: Pitzer
Description: This class will serve as a general introduction to Africana Studies. Africana studies, while still relatively young, has a vibrant history that traces the lives and scholarship of people from African descent. Its complex and latent development in academia follows from the socio-political marginalization of people within the African diaspora. Nevertheless, resilience and perseverance will be repeated themes as we study how, through different techniques and modes of understanding, people of the African diaspora have continually challenged the western hegemony of academic study.

justice issues such as environmental destruction, collective values, hierarchical power relations,
sexuality, race and gender, colonization, slavery, home, displacement and immigration, detention
and imprisonment, self-reliance, trans-species cooperation, and trans-human hybridity, to name a

AFRI 114 AF -Unruly Bodies: Black Womanhood
Institution: Pomona
Description: In this course we will explore and critically analyze representations of black womanhood in popular culture. Closely reading texts, television, music, comedy, and artistic works from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, we will think through some of the processes by which black women’s bodies are socially, politically, and culturally constructed as dangerous, disruptive, and out of control. Another major goal of the course is to consider the various strategies black women take up to foreground pleasure, and various ways of seeing black bodies as healthy and adequate. We can do so by examining competing versions of ‘black womanhood,’ looking at how ideas about the discourse circulate around the hegemonic idea of black women and black femininity as unruly. Letter grade only.

AFRI 116 AF -Marxism & the Black Radical Trad
Institution: Scripps

The course will examine classic Marxist texts alongside Black radical contributions and interventions to deepen our understanding of racial capitalism and to illuminate possibilities for liberation that come from a Marxist praxis deeply engaged with important approaches in Black thought.

AFRI 121 AF -Africana Philosophy
Institution: Claremont McKenna
Description: Philosophical thought and the philosophical cannon cannot be restricted to the ‘great thinkers’ of western history. This course will be a general introduction to Africana Philosophy. We will unveil not only that philosophy is more than the western world and has points of origin in other places, such as Africa, but we will also discover how Africana philosophy serves as a challenge to the integrity of integral concepts and themes in modern western philosophy; for example, the subject, freedom, the human, and even ontology. We will achieve these insights through a survey of thinkers, writers, and people who address themes such as traditional africana thought, black existentialism, black feminism, post colonialism, whiteness, double consciousness, and afro-pessimism. Cross-listed as PHIL109 CM.

AFRI 127 AF -Hip Hop, Reggae, and Religion
Institution: Pitzer
Description: Hip-hop and reggae are among the world’s most popular musical art forms. Contextualizing the emergence of these cultural formations, we will interrogate the dynamic relationships between them and the religio-political imagination of the Black Atlantic. We will pay particular attention to the ways that the various cultures of hip-hop and reggae offer critique to Christianity and contemporary arrangements of power. Listening to the religio-political perspectives expressed in these cultural formations students will question whether or not the music provides a prophetic challenge to the status quo of our political and economic arrangements. Giving attention to the music, from the Negro Spirituals, to contemporary Hip Hop and Dancehall, we will contextualize it with an interest in understanding the relationship between their religious and political visions. Weekly, we will encounter material from numerous genres as we theorize the music. Assignments will include discussion posts, presentations, a music review, and a final paper.

AFRI 134 PO -Black Comic Cultures
Institution: Pomona
Description: African American humor can be traced to the period of enslavement, largely an underground phenomenon until the middle of the 20th century when performers like Richard Pryor and Dick Gregory brought it to the mainstream. The global rise of black comedy as a commodity and marker of identity in the 21st century demands that we reconsider how black cultural formations like comedy are embodied, evaluated, and critiqued within American culture. This seminar serves as an introduction to the history and practices of black comic cultures, and focuses on major themes, styles, and historical events that inform contemporary genres of black comedy. We will use comedy as a means to help us think about how American cultures and identities have been shaped, challenged, and transformed by way of performance.

AFRI 138 PO -Black Queer (After)Lives
Institution: Pomona
Description: Toni Morrison once remarked, “Certain absences are so stressed, so ornate, so planned, they call attention to themselves; arrest us with intentionality and purpose, like neighborhoods defined by the population held away from them” (1988). This course attempts to pull from the margins the cultural and political expressions of black lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people. We will examine both the uneasy structures of black queer life and extraordinary strategies black people have developed for navigating them, discussing how black sexuality is made visible and invisible in popular culture, academic, and political discourse. We will examine representations of black queer poets, musicians, political activists, and filmmakers, in which relations between race, sexuality, and cultural identity are explored. This course will contextualize and expand black queer archives, including visual representations, poetry, autobiography, political essays, fiction, music, and film, with current interdisciplinary scholarship in black queer studies.

AFRI 144A AF -Black Women, Feminism(s) & Arts

Situating contemporary feminist work historically, thematically- organized materials highlight key written and visual texts by the nineteenth century and twentieth-century foremothers. Students will compare and contrast strategies for living, thinking, and visualizing love-driven efforts to raise consciousness, manifest political and economic change, and energize social transformations across the African diaspora.

ANTH 003 PZ -Language, Culture & Society
Institution: Pitzer
Description: This course introduces the field of linguistic anthropology, examining language in social and cultural context. Students will become familiar with basic concepts and qualitative methods in the social sciences, including ethnographic fieldwork and the analysis of face-to-face communication. We look for ways of answering questions such as these: • How do everyday conversational practices create solidarity between people, or set them apart from one another? How does talk reflect and create relations of power? • How do words combine with other semiotic modalities (gesture, facial expression, prosody) to convey subtle messages? • Why do miscommunications arise, even between people who speak the same language? • How do children learn to speak not only grammatically, but also appropriately? • How does language shape our thoughts or the ways we perceive the world? In this course, we explore language as a complex form of social action-not merely a vehicle for communicating thoughts and meanings, but a means of creating the social world. We consider ways that language acts on us, and ways that we act through language: achieving relationships, constituting identities, constructing norms and patterns of thought, and positioning ourselves and others in relation to global systems of power and inequality.
