Black Globalization . BL ST 2
Explains the process of Globalization from the XV Century - when the very concept of race appeared in discourse - to the present through the lenses of the Black experience. The texts, films and lecture presentations counter the historiographical erasure of people of African descent in the making of the Modern World, foregrounds the critical role that Black subject played in both the Old and New Worlds and postulates that Globalization could not have ever taken place without their contributions.

Professor Alves is great! He is passionate about what he teaches and makes lectures interesting. The class is overall fairly easy. I would definitely recommend taking this course.
I really enjoyed this class. Learned so many new things and ways of thinking about my own culture. TA helped a lot, but he really tries his best to get you to understand things in class. 3 essays for the entire quarter and a couple of last-minute extra credit opportunities. Overall would take his class again and it got me interested in this minor.
Provides little to no feedback and does not have a clear grading rubric Harsh grader and mandatory attendance and pop quizzes during a pandemic is inconsiderate and risky.
So many readings I felt like he over-complicated so many topics I didn't get to absorb much because every topic felt tangled up and like I wasn't educated enough on? I don't know I guess I was hoping to learn a lot more but he's really unapproachable & I am too scared to ask questions.
