This course is a survey from the late 19th century to 21st century of American history informed by the perspectives of African Americans. The first part of this course inquires into the transformation of African American communities in the aftermath of the American Civil War and the abolition of slavery. The course studies the laboring conditions that African Americans negotiated, sharecropping, as well as the cultural institutions they built and they cultures they produced amid leaving the agrarian world and migrating to urban centers for higher wages.The second section of this course studies the African American led Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s and places it in a wider geopolitical and historical context. This section assesses the historical personalities, the goals and the methods and the community organizing that served as the basis for the dramatic transformation of American racialized citizenship. Here the course pays close attention to the dramatic change in self-awareness among African Americans regarding their own racial/ethnic identities and naming.The third section of course studies the post civil rights struggles by following the debates concerning the changing status of African Americans in regards to issues of race, social class status, and gender after 1965. As a class we will probe African American reflections as to the meaning and difficulties of the American experience in lieu of the racial liberalization and the rise of African American elected officials from urban Mayors in 1967 to the election of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States in 2008.
