HIS 365 - African American Urban Politics, Economy, and Policy in Historical Perspective (3)This course provides an introduction to the political history and public policies that have significantly shaped, and continue to shape, the social and political life of African Americans and the urban environment. While the course will explore historical themes, it will be mostly contemporary in its temporal focus. Topics will include African American political thought, leadership, and Black political economy. We will explore voting, participation, party politics, and elective office: i.e. legislative and executive. Additional topics will explore challenges within housing and labor markets as well as issues of gender, class, and sexual identity at the intersections of Black politics. Finally, we will explore the role of race, drug policy, and criminal justice.
