CCST7350 | SELECTED CRITICAL READINGS FROM AFRICA AND LATIN AMERICA

The study of critical, intellectual, and literary texts tackling African and Latin American experiences, precisely those that focus on indigenousness, resistance to colonialism,Négritude, racism, slavery, the theology of liberation, class struggle, and freedom from domination and dependence. These texts will be examined within two main dimensions: knowledge and its connection to the lived experience, and what these experiences entail, for instance: pain and suffering, loss, displacement, and alienation. Secondly, the texts will attempt to position the Palestinian experience within global liberatory context. This will be achieved by drawing on the works of Nyerere, Cesar, Senghor, Garvey, Lumumba, Kitterez, Bolivar, DelaCruz, and others.
