Description: This course is an archaeological exploration of the major concepts, themes and research questions that are at the foundation of African Diaspora studies. In this class, students will engage with the very concept of ‘African Diaspora’ in conversation with the geo-political and socio-economic processes that shaped, and continue to influence the field. Through an engagement with archaeological and ethnographic case studies, we will examine the everyday practices of peoples of African descent across numerous geographies, focusing on similarities and differences that emerge from our comparative approach. Students will be introduced to a number of methodological and theoretical perspectives, and examine topics such as slavery, emancipation, cultural production, gender, ethnicity, class, and spirituality. This course will be of interest to students interested in Archaeology, Anthropology, History, African American studies, and Caribbean studies. Cross-list: ANTH 531. Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for ANTH 331 if student has credit for ANTH 531.
