Abstract
This syllabus critically examines, interrogates, and engages with anti-Black racism. Anti-Black racism is a distinct kind of racial oppression and discrimination against, imposed upon, and experienced by African Americans and Black people (i.e., people of African ancestry). Dr. kihana miraya ross describes it as a “theoretical framework that illuminates society’s inability to recognize our [black people’s] humanity—the disdain, disregard and disgust for our existence.” Consequently, anti-Black racism underscores and attends to the pervasiveness of anti-Blackness across time, contexts, cultures, communities, and societies, and is an ever-present ideological and epistemological system that is inextricable from white supremacy. This syllabus is organized into curriculum units that reflect the ways anti-Black racism informs different institutions, systems, and practices that characterize US American society.
