Description

This course charts the development of African American literature from the 18th century to the present in the context of the complex dynamic of resistance and collaboration that helped to shape the culture, politics, creative imagination, and selfidentities of African Americans. Beginning with slave narratives, the course proceeds to an analysis of representative texts from the large body of early poetry and fiction (including Wheatley, Horton, Dunbar, Wilson); from the Harlem Renaissance canon (Hughes, McKay, Cullen, Larsen, Fauset, Hurston); and fromrealistic, naturalistic, and modernist works by such writers as Wright, Baldwin, Marshall, and Morrison. (Students will receive credit for BLS 3034 or ENG 3034. These courses may substitute for each other in the F-replacement policy)
