AFRI 195D AF - Caribbean Radicalism in 20th Century US

This course examines the historical and political trajectories of Caribbean migrant populations in the U.S. In addition to studying Caribbean involvement in American radicalism in the early 20th Century, this course also examines political movements in the Caribbean as well as the emergence of social justice movements in the U.S. In addition, we survey the historical linkages and intersections of these movements and their resulting legacies. Pro-independence, anti-racist, and identity-based liberation movements are central to this course, making discussions of race, class, and gender key elements. Additional components include the study of literary-political intersections such as those of the Black Arts Movement, the Nuyorican Poets, and the Young Lords Organization.
