In Fall 2020 Palomar College offered an Africana American Studies 101 course for employees and in the Spring 2021 African American Studies 102 will be offered for employees too! You do not have had to take 101 to take 102, any employees can register for 102.
SPRING SEMESTER 2021
AS 102 – AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY II
INSTRUCTORS: Dr. Jerry Rafiki Jenkins and Dr. Martin Japtok
Employee Student Learning Outcome
Employees will acquire an understanding of the development of what has come to be called systemic racism, or, to be more precise, systemic anti-Blackness. They will learn of the origins of this now global phenomenon, of its development and growth in the territories that become the United States, and about how Africans became African Americans.
Student Learning Outcome: Students should demonstrate an understanding of the distinctive contributions of Africans and their descendants to American history and culture.
Course Description
For anyone wishing to understand not only American history but the development of the Atlantic world, the modern world economy, and modern popular culture, African American history is an excellent place to start. Of course, it is also a fascinating subject in its own right, but we emphasize its international dimensions because it has too often been treated as a supplementary or marginal subject; however, anyone ignoring African American history cannot come to an understanding of the processes that have shaped the world we live in. A course covering over 130 years can only touch on important periods and developments, and even by focusing on the U.S., one ignores the larger development of the African Diaspora in the Western hemisphere—however, we’re making a good start by learning as much as we can about U.S. African American History from the Civil War until the present.
