BLKST-395 The History of Pan-Africanism
In this course we will explores the history of the idea of Pan-Africanism from 1513 to the present. Pan-Africanism has taken many different forms at different historical junctures. Though Pan-Africanists all believed in the unity, common history, and common destiny of people of African descent, they had very different visions of what that common future would look like. We will be looking at the long-history of Pan-African sentiments, movements, and projects, as well as learning about a number of important and under-studied historical actors hailing anywhere from Berkeley to Luanda. Will satisfy History requirement as equivalent to HST 395.
