How have Black communities practiced resistance, reimagined the future, and reshaped the politics of time? This course explores Black political behavior and resistance through the lens of Afrofuturism and alternative temporalities. Students will examine how conventional notions of time and progress have been used to reinforce power and inequity, and how Black political action, cultural production, and speculative imagination challenge these structures. Drawing on political theory, cultural texts, and Afrofuturist thought, we will investigate the strategies, visions, and practices that open new possibilities for political agency, collective memory, and visions of liberation and Black futurity.
