FYSP 110 - Black Women and Liberation

4 SS, CD, Wri
First Semester. This seminar investigates the various ways that Black women of the 1960s and 1970s in the U.S. and South Africa have led their communities and their freedom movements (e.g., civil rights, anti-apartheid) with an important array of skills, resources, and vision. Students will be asked to think critically about the properties of women’s leadership and political consciousness. We will use autobiographies and other secondary sources, develop research skills, and explore the bridge between community-based activism and intellectual life.
