Description: This course examines the role Black anthropologists have played in shaping the modern history of anthropological thought. By considering the role Black anthropologists have played as ethnographic knowledge producers, rather than simply ethnographic objects, this seminar considers not how race has shaped the study of culture. In addressing the discipline's legacy of anti-Blackness in the study of "cultural difference," this class considers how Black anthropologists have drawn on concepts and theories within Black Studies to reimagine and rewrite their own genealogy within the discipline. From Du Boisian political economy of racism and Black feminist poetics and performance to contemporary discussions of decolonizing and abolitionist anthropology, this course addresses how Black anthropologists have created ethnographic approaches that not only redress disciplinary anti-Black racism, but also, most importantly, provide approaches studying the robustness of Black life.
