Students will interrogate the historical and contemporary conditions out of which black diasporic subjectivities are produced and the new cultural forms that emerge. The term ‘black’ locates the political in the broader arena of post-coloniality where contestation and challenge are elaborated. In this post-colonial arena the nation-state is dislodged and new/hybrid formulations, practices, and performances that have implications for transformations and opposition can take shape. |
