Overview of the broader literature and an interrogation of specific attendant questions (such as how do feminists theorize state violence; what are feminist and queer critiques of U.S. empire; and how do feminists theorize globalization from above and below).
Class Description:
This is course is designed to introduce students to a school of thought often neglected in dominant visions and articulations of transnational feminism: black diasporic feminism. We center black women's writings and political struggles within the African diaspora - the geographic dispersion of African people all over the globe as a result of voluntary, forced and induced migrations. This course, rather than elaborate upon the cultural and ethnic variances between African women in different parts of the world, instead reflects upon the formation and consolidation of blackness as a mode of political identification that is realized through struggle within and between specific global localities. This includes global cities and nation-states - but also relational remappings of social geographies that lie outside of familiar and often taken for granted ways of sense the social and political world. The remappings include queer and transgender approaches to the study of the culture of the black diaspora.
Who Should Take This Class?:
Students interested in transnational feminism, anti-colonial theory, spirituality, and feminist critiques of Empire should take this course.
Learning Objectives:

  1. To achieve intellectual competence in black transnational feminism, its diverse articulations, and its specialized critique of colonialism and empire.

  2. To achieve familiarity with the political, cultural and intellectual geography of the black diaspora through a black and queer feminist lens.

  3. To understand intersectionality and its relationship to blackness in a transnational context.

  4. To become fluent in narratives of black personhood that have origins outside of the continental United States.

  5. To situate U.S. black feminism in a transnational context.
