African Holocaust (Maangamizi): The History & Legacy of African Enslavement

Starting Sunday 12 June 2022 – Sunday 10 July 2022

The enslavement of African people and its accompanying violence and destruction was one of the catastrophic events in the history of humankind.

In this informative five week course we will study the history and legacy of the enslavement of African people through our Maangamizi. The word “Maangamizi” is a Swahili term which speaks to the intentionality of the African holocaust of chattel, colonial and neo-colonial enslavement.

In this course, we will examine the history of Africa before and after enslavement, the impact of enslavement on African people and societies, the African abolition struggles and resistance movements, and the legacy of the enslavement period on Africa and the Diaspora. We will also examine the movement for reparations for historical injustices. 

This is an introductory course and does not assume any previous study or reading. Handouts of each lesson and a reading list will be provided. The course will be taught through illustrated lectures and discussions.

Using a lecture-discussion format, the course will run for five weeks, one lecture per week on Sunday evening from 18:00 GMT to 20:00 GMT (13:00 EST, 12:00 CST, 10:00 PT) via Zoom Webinar.
