HIST 235 - African American History to Emancipation Credits: (3) College Curriculum: COLL 200 Domain (Anchored): CSI Domain (Reaching Out): ALV This course explores the history of African-descended people in the U.S. from their first arrival in the North American colonies through the end of slavery during the Civil War. We will investigate the ways African Americans fashioned new worlds and cultures while living under the enormous constraints of slavery and discrimination. Struggles for freedom, full citizenship, and alternative political visions, and the role of such struggles in shaping African Americans’ identification with each other as a people, will be a focus throughout. We will also treat differences of class and gender within African American communities. Cross-listed with: AFST 235
