AFRST-265 Racism and Anti-racism

Our present age demands we explore the theory and practice of anti-racist work through an examination of the foundational construction of race and racism in America and the resistance of abolitionists like Frederick Douglass, John Brown, Frances Seward, and others; the role of white supremacy, and anti-blackness. This course also seeks to answer questions like: What is anti-racism? Taking a dialectical approach to such questions we will explore work by anti-racism scholars and activists such as Ibram X. Kendi; the Black Panthers; James Baldwin; and recent critical writing on white supremacy.
