PASJ 316 - African Amer Perf/Cult

Unit(s): 4

This course examines the wide range of contributions African American artists have made intellectually, aesthetically, and practically to the performing arts. With a focus on performance (dance/music/theater), film, and theoretical texts, the course considers how art both reflects and transforms culture. Definitions of race and cultural identity are also examined through theoretical texts as well as historical and cultural markers.
