Forced to leave the continent of Africa in droves during the Transatlantic Slave Trade, millions of persons of African descent were dispersed throughout the world during the “African Diaspora.” This course introduces students to key theoretical and conceptual debates in African diaspora studies.

Attention will be devoted to the African Diaspora in the city of Houston.
