ANTH 1723 - BLACK MASCULINITYMinimum Credits: 3 Maximum Credits: 3 This course explores the role and significance of Black Males and Black Masculinity in the Black Diaspora. The main focus will examine Black Masculinity in a North American context with supporting examples and comparisons from other parts of the Diaspora. Examining the varied social roles Black males have occupied in both literal and symbolic systems students will gain an understanding of the interrelatedness of race, gender and masculinity and its impact on social, political and legal institutions. As a course in Anthropology the centrality of symbols and the meanings people attribute to symbols will help shape and direct both course readings and class discussion. However, the impact symbols have on everyday life and the relationships of power, kinship and desire will serve to demonstrate the important ways in which an understanding of Blackness and Masculinity gives understandings to other knowledge. This course will be heavily grounded in Black Diaspora Theory, Black Feminist and Black Queer Theory, and the Anthropology of Gender and Sexuality.
