AFAM 358: Black Male/Female Relationships

Course Description

This course will focus on the multi-faceted realities of Black male-female relationships in America. This course will examine the strains and lasting effects that slavery had in the United States in regard to Black male-female relationships. Course content will include: sexism, economics, religion, education, scarcity, self-destruction, community, and family. Strategies for improving/strengthening these relationships will also be discussed. This course is designed to create awareness and interest in further research and study of African-American culture rather than to attempt exhaustive coverage of material or to present definitive analyses.
