Black Studies (Global)

Black Studies (Global) examines the experiences, histories, and cultural developments of people of African descent worldwide. This subject covers the transnational dimensions of Black life, focusing not only on the Americas but also Africa, Europe, the Caribbean, and beyond. Readers will encounter scholarship on issues such as colonialism, migration, resistance, identity, and the evolving impacts of diaspora on societies around the globe.

Unlike region-specific categories within social science, Black Studies (Global) encourages comparisons and connections across continents and time periods. To further tailor your exploration, consider narrowing your focus to particular geographic areas, community movements, or thematic topics like literature, politics, or social change within the Black diaspora.
