Africana, Latin American, Caribbean, and Latinx Studies
Department of Africana, Latin American, Caribbean, and Latinx Studies
We take a multi-disciplinary approach that fosters a critical understanding of history, culture and politics. Our programs explore how peoples from Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean, as well as their descendants in the Americas have constructed and interpreted their own lives, cultures and histories.
