African American Art: The impact of African American Art Across
the Atlantic
Course Description
This course will provide an overview of the impact of African art
in the Americas, including that found in the United States, the
Caribbean, and parts of South America. The course will examine the
Black aesthetic that has developed in the Diaspora as a result of
the trans-Atlantic slave trade, as well as explore the ways in which
art (both visual and performance) has been used to define Black
identity and shape the political and social struggles of the 20th
century.
