What constitutes the field of study called Black Political Economy? This course excavates a radical
tradition of political economy in African diaspora studies, a tradition which has sheltered some of the
most thoroughgoingly insightful perspectives on Black oppression in the Americas over the last 500
years. The course will take a wide-ranging and interdisciplinary approach which draws on several fields,
including Africana intellectual history, political economy, sociological studies and cultural studies in its
presentation of the field of study termed Black political economy. Enrollment limited to 12. Juniors and seniors only. Instructor permission required.
