| Abstract | This research uses critical race theory (CRT) as a conceptual perspective to study and analyze the experiences of ten students of African descent who enrolled in several African studies courses or related courses in an Ontarian university. The students, two females and eight males were interviewed between June and August 2005, using Semi-structured questions. The result of the study indicates that the organization of African studies program, the appointment of program coordinator/professors of African studies, selection of course materials/ readings, and the pedagogical practices of professors in that university tend to marginalize students enrolled in those courses and the program itself. Marginalization takes a variety of forms, including emotional torture, a sense of powerlessness, trivialization of African intellect, and tacit exclusion of Africa from intellectual discourses. The paper concludes by suggesting diversity policies that should be pursued by the academy in order to address marginalization of Africa studies. (Author). |
