Course Description
Explores ethnographic work produced by Black women in both the past and present, imagining a future for Black feminism within the discipline of anthropology. Taking seriously the charge made by Christen Smith to #citeblackwomen, we will center fieldnotes, reflections, and ethnography produced by Black women. Reading material by writers including Zora Neale Hurston, Leith Mullings, and Savannah Shange - authors who explicitly link their intellectual production to their political commitments. Offers a nuanced engagement with anthropology and its practitioners, centering the voices of those who have historically written from the margins of the discipline.
