Using a social constructionist approach to race, this course examines the multiple ways in which racial discourses operate in global literary cultures. It emphasizes that blackness need not be a homogeneous concept in order to continue to be a powerful agent in the postmodern world.

CollegeAkudinobi is a great instructor and you can get a lot out of his classes as long as you actually read!! He's super funny & caring. Grade is mainly based on a take-home midterm and final plus 1 paper. Make sure you participate
Professor AKUDINOBI genuinely cares about his students. The reading takes 20 mins tops, there is no other weekly homework. There are 3 8 page papers. However they are actually 2 4 page papers on 2 different topics. He gives you all the answers in class. all you have to do is read 7 to 10 pages an week and show up.
Very nice, fun, approachable, one of the better black studies professors ( ahemm, Ingrid Banks) and overall a great instructor
He is very funny in class. He is very easy and you cant literally talk your way out of most anything. Midterms and Finals were take home for 7 days a piece. Take him as a GPA booster
lectures are unstructured but the reading itself is interesting. be sure you're able to write strong opinions demoting white society. office hours are equally confusing and unstructured but if there for a chat, he is so knowledgeable. definitely one of the most interesting professors here. would recommend only for strong writers.
Prof Akudinobi is a very enthusiastic and knowledgable lecturer. He is very willing to give students feedback and advice on writing.
