HIST 180 History of Black Europe

HIST 180 focuses on the experiences of Afropeans (Europeans of African descent) in the 20th and 21st centuries, with a brief overview of pre-20th century history. It examines systemic racism and its intersection with class and gender in European political, institutional, and cultural spheres, while centering Afropean responses. The course follows British photographer, writer, and broadcaster Johny Pitts' book Afropean, which describes his 2017 journey through Europe. We will discuss his observations and explore the underlying history of the things he encounters and conclusions he draws.
