In this course, we will learn about major trends and schools of thought in anthropology over the last 150 years. We explore the origins and utility of the four-field approach, anthropology?s relationship to race, racism and social justice, and the efficacy of anthropological approaches to knowledge production. We will address the following questions among others: how have anthropologists contributed to imperial domination, or worked to demolish it? What impact have anthropologists had in public debates? What questions have divided anthropologists the most?

This course will introduce students to both the study of African-diasporic peoples in the Americas by anthropologists, as well as the practice of anthropology by African American scholars. We will contextualize African American anthropologies within the historical developments, social movements, cultural and artistic production, and political philosophies that have shaped African American communities. By critically engaging with seminal texts and writings, we will consider contradictions, challenges, critiques, and contributions present within African American Anthropology.
