Racism preoccupies virtually every aspects of US society: culture, law, politics, economies. Yet US-basedscholars have offered surprisingly few comprehensive theories or definitions for what, exactly, racism entails and where it comes from. During the second half of the course, we turn our attention to anti-racist activism, particularly within people of color and immigrant communities.
How have these anti-racist efforts measured up to existing scholarly theories of racism? Or do they instead produce new theories and definitions of their own? This is an upper division undergrad course. Prerequisite: Upper-division standing, African and African Diaspora Studies , and consent of instructor. Designed to accommodate 35 or fewer students.

The course explores how Black Studies scholars have revised traditional disciplinary methods in pursuit of new paradigms that might constitute an open and evolving Black Studies method.
This course serves to enable students to decide what method to choose for the master's thesis and, eventually, the dissertation. Yet US-based scholars have offered surprisingly few comprehensive theories or definitions for what, exactly, racism entails and where it comes from. This course offers students a comparative study in the makings and meanings of diaspora.
We begin by defining the differences and similarities between diaspora and related concepts such as race, nation and cultural identity. Focusing specifically on the making of the Black Atlantic world, we then draw a comparative analysis between black diasporic life and that of other global dispersals, particularly among Asian and indigenous populations.
Resistance serves as a key link in this comparative study. Requirements : Students are expected to complete the course readings and to arrive prepared for discussion on the readings.

Abel is one of the most influential people in my professional life. I remember the day I interviewed with Prospera, and the job interview quickly turned into a mentoring session in which we traded approaches and questions about advisory fee accruals. We often frustrated each other, but I do not remember an unkind word from him.
It was in moments of frustration, that his kindness increased and prompted me to work harder to avoid his disappointment. I enjoyed his playfulness and how he teased me about our political differences. I have watched him with awe and respect as he fiercely battled his illness and worked hard to ensure his vision, protection, care, and love for everyone and everything he valued would continue beyond his own life.
Abel is my best example of how to lead by investing in people. I will be eternally grateful that he invested in me. He will be missed. I met Abel a few years ago before we officially became work colleagues. He was a personal client of mine and I got to know him and the incredibly kind and amazing person he was. A big reason where I'm at in my life right now is directly attributable to Abel.
He treated everyone with kindness and respect. My heart aches for his family and I send my thoughts and prayers for their loss. My friend, my ear of reason, my lunch person and my "can we take a quick car ride I need a women's opinion" person.
No matter how busy he was as soon as I walked in his office he stopped everything and prepared himself to hear geez Abel clean up this office. His gruff exterior was only a front as he was a softy who would in fact help in anyway he could. My heart is broken hearing this morning you have gone home but I know you are healed and enjoying a good jazz concert.
Until we meet again at that "clean" office in the sky. Abel was a scholar and a gentleman. A caring dad to his beloved daughter. I will miss our conversations and his unique perspective on life and work. May your memory live on through all you've touched. Abel had a great love of music and art. He would do anything for a friend and truly enjoyed spending time with people.
He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him. Lifting his daughter and family in prayer…. Abel was the most brilliant, endearing and at times exasperating man with whom I have ever worked. His knowledge and grasp of potential strategies and outcomes was a very special talent and helped create his wonderfully successful career.
It was my joy to watch it in action for many years. I will miss his brilliance, his dedication to his team and company, his hilarious sense of humor and his caring touches in my life. My deepest sympathy to his family for the loss of this wonderful man who was my friend. My heart grieves with you. Abel was a man of character who cared deeply for others. His compassion was always visible. He was a loyal friend and a special man. I will miss his sense of humor and smile.
Rest In Peace my dear friend. Abel was a beloved member of the Prospera family for 28 years and a loyal, devoted friend. Words cannot express how much he will be missed.
My prayers go out to his family. David Stringer. He is survived by a Daughter, Mother, Brother and Sister, and extended family and friends. Abel Garcia, Jr. Obituary Services Memories and Condolences.
