BSt 204 Introduction to African American History
An introductory sequence designed to provide students with a factual framework and conceptual foundation to analyze the history of the black race in the New World. Primarily a lecture- discussion format augmented with speakers and films, the course will trace the pertinent contacts between the African and European worlds from ancient times to the present. Special consideration will be given to developing the student's skill to re-examine traditional historical concepts and information from the perspective of the black experience. This is the second course in a sequence of two: BSt 203 and BSt 204.
