About African American Studies at UB

African American Studies provides students with an understanding of the diverse African American and African Diaspora experiences. It features examinations and analyses of the unique historical, political, and socio-cultural experiences of African Americans in the context of U.S. history and society. It also relates the African American experience to African history and to cognate experiences of people of African descent living in Latin America and the Caribbean. The department's curriculum covers a broad spectrum of topics in the arts, humanities, and social sciences that are pertinent to these historical and sociological experiences.
