About this course
This interdisciplinary course focuses on the literary and cultural responses to questions of identity and belonging that people of African descent living in Europe experience today. Artistic production will be examined in terms of aesthetic innovation, historical colonial relationships, and current social, political, and economic debates surrounding migration, citizenship rights, and inequality. The course will examine the literature and culture of those claiming an identity that is both African and European, as well as address intersections with class, gender, sexuality, religion, and other areas of difference. In examining contemporary Afro-European transnational culture in a range of countries in Europe, the course will draw upon literature, film, figurative arts, and music, as well as on current sociological, political, and legal writings.
