T3 401A - Images of Blacks in the American Mind
Examines the nature, the sources, and the effects of ideas and attitudes about Americans of African descent. Many of these ideas and attitudes have pervaded American culture. Focuses upon images of blacks as bucks, coons, buffoons, improvident children, mammies, devoted Christians, etc., with a view of showing how widespread and deeply embedded these images have been in American culture and how they contributed to slavery and the subsequent exclusion of blacks from the mainstream of American life. Interdisciplinary in nature, the course uses the approaches and materials of a variety of fields of study–literature, art, film, history, the natural sciences, social sciences, popular culture.
