Dr. Carr - Intro to Afro American Studies FQ4-4
AFRO 005 Framing Question 4-4:
The last of four discussions of Framing Question 4
-----
By the mid 19th century, Europeans and those of their former colonies controlled by Whites (e.g. the U.S., Brazil, et. al.) began to systematically dispossess Africans of natural resources (African colonialism) and reconfigure African labor from chattel slavery to debt peonage (Western Hemisphere) in a world system. Improved international communications networks, or what some scholars have called “The Practice of Diaspora,” enabled Africans to begin to see themselves as part of an oppositional African world, even as they struggled against local social, economic, political and cultural racial oppressions in their perspective sites of resistance.

Dr. Carr I would like to say thank you for your insight,passion and concern. I'm not a student in this class but a student of learning. Are some of the available books audible?My vision is impaired. That is a recent happening in my life. I enjoy your presentation and your approach. I'm new to you and what you're presenting. I want to continue to grow my knowledge of self. When you have a moment, your response would be appreciated.

39:40 "maybe Nicaragua" is because right before the Civil War the US actually was invading Central America under the disguise of buccaneer and complete monster, William Walker. They already had sieged a few locations and Walker actually WAS president for a bit (from 1855 to 1860). He was pushed back and forth when attempting to continue onwards to Costa Rica, and in his last attempt he was captured, shipped, and fusilated in Honduras right at the start of the Civil War (he was met with indifference in the US, and him and his band of thugs stopped getting as much support from the government).
