HIS 215 - Black Natures

3 Credits


Students examine environmental topics through the lens of the Black experience throughout U.S. history from the 17th century to the present day. Students read great works by African American authors focused on the concept of nature. Students encounter a wide range of Black experiences with “wild” nature, as well as through the labor and practice of slavery, sharecropping, farming, and gardening.
