HIS 406 - BLACK WOMEN IN U.S. HISTORY
College of Arts & Sciences
Credit(s): 3
As historian Deborah Gray White has noted, ‘The uniqueness of the African American female’s situation is that she stands at the crossroads of two of the most well-developed ideologies in America, that regarding women and that regarding the Negro.’ In that regard, black women’s history offers a lens into racism and sexism in America, but also resistance to such oppression. Covering a broad regional and chronological scope, this course is designed to introduce students to the major themes, debates, and developments in African-American women’s history, especially as seen through the lives of individual women–some you’ve probably heard of, others you may not have. Much of the course readings and films will consist then of biography and autobiography.
