Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
This jointly taught course by Profs. Michael Hanchard and Zita Nunes is designed to introduce
students to scholarship on the African diaspora and the concepts, methods and theoretical
approaches associated with this field of study. Readings and lectures will cover the cultural
practices and politics of several African diaspora populations, their movements and tendencies
in historical and comparative perspective. We will focus on the Harlem Renaissance, pan-
Africanism, the Black Power and Black Arts Movements, and the struggles for civil rights in
Brazil and the United States, which provide notable examples of the human and organizational
networks across nation-state and regional boundaries linking diverse African-descended
populations.
