    Description
    This course focuses on the history of African American music and provides students an overview of the African American experience in the United States by critically exploring the social, cultural, political, and economic history through music. Students will critically analyze the ways that African American cultural identities and music challenge, complicate, and reinvent the musical traditions of dominant American culture.
