In this course, we examine the representations of Black (African and African American) women that have dominated popular culture. The course looks at the history of those representations, especially in systems of colonialism and enslavement. These representations have fed tropes about Black women, tropes that have reinforced patriarchal structures, the silence around violence against Black women, and domestic policies that negatively impact Black women’s lives. We will also look at how Black women are creating content to challenge those familiar tropes. We will consider how women create their own representations, which create spaces within patriarchal environments for women to exercise their agency and create counter narratives.
