The first class is usually started with the DVD I produced, "Afrikan World Civilizations," as an introduction to the entire class. I did something different this year to accommodate those who have repeated the class. Min. Malcolm X and Oprah made the first class very interesting and informative. But based on questions asked in the class and e-mails received, it is apparent we must explore the information in the DVD. It covers Afrikan world history and culture, and will answer many of the questions and e-mails. It was produced specifically for our class, although it was screened at the Pan African Film Festival to a standing room only, turn away audience, and has received critical acclaim.
We will make up the subject of DNA later.
You will also receive a handpicked book list of what I consider some of the most important literature written by scholars and writers of Afrikan descent. This will allow you to be more discriminant when going to Eso Won Books around the corner after class.
Hope to see you there!
