BLKST-395 From \ck to Africa\ to \ack Lives Matter\: A Global History of Panafricanism
In this course we will explores the history of the idea of Panafricanism from 1513 to the present. Panafricanism has taken many different forms at different historical junctures. Though Panafricanists 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 Panafrican 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.
