This course reviews the historical literature related to the social construction of masculinity and femininity for African and African-descended peoples. The course compares the ways gendered notions of family, community, and nation have impacted local and international projects of black liberation. In addition to the U.S. and Africa, the Caribbean and Latin America will be important regions of consideration.
