Course Description

The Summer School on Black Europe is an intensive two week course offered in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The course is a collaboration between the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and NiNsee, the National Institute for the study of Dutch Slavery and its Legacy.

Historically, social forces within Europe have given rise to policies to combat racism. We will trace the chain of events following social and civil conflicts that prompted these policies and analyze the legislative and intellectual discourse produced in the aftermath.

In the second week, we will explore the notions of blackness as; an official categorization; as a social construction, employed by natives to indicate (non) belonging; as a Diaspora living within Europe; and as a contestation of the dominant (White) paradigm. We will focus on the historical and colonial legacies of European countries to discuss the origins of Black Europe and investigate the impact of these legacies on policies and legislation.

This course will also seek to address the dimensions of race and ethnic relations that are unique to Europe; examining the ways in which conceptions of the "other" are institutionalized and reproduced; the rise of xenophobia in various EU countries; the legal definitions and discourse surrounding the conceptualized "other"; and examining the ways in which ea

"I am always puzzled by Black people who, in an earnest attempt to encourage Black youngsters to consider careers in fields other than sports, resort to comments such as, "We don't need any more Black athletes."
Of course, it is true that only a few of those who pursue careers in professional sports wind up realizing their dreams. And there is a need for students to consider the vast number of opportunities in other professions. But does that mean we should be discouraging Black students from pursuing opportunities and careers in sports?
I think not."
