Africana Studies
The Africana Studies concentration is an interdisciplinary program offered through the Center for Interdisciplinary and Special Studies. Focusing critical attention on African-American, Caribbean, and African topics, the curriculum emphasizes the rich history and cultures of the peoples of Africa and the African Diaspora, including the study of literature, music, and the arts.
The concentration's elective course offerings give students the opportunity to explore the complex nature of United States race relations, racial identity, and the political movements of African and African-American peoples.
Africana Studies serves as a forum for all Holy Cross students, regardless of race, to study together their diverse heritages and common concerns as Americans.
