- Course Catalog Description:
- The literature of African American women writers explored in novels, short stories, essays, poetry, autobiographies, and drama from the 18th to the late-20th century.
- Class Description:
- This course seeks to explore the literary production of North American Black women from diverse backgrounds and perspectives. Through their varied and common experiences of Black females living in a white-male-dominated culture, we will endeavor they understand the social construction of race and gender, as well as, their intersection with class and social-economic dynamics. In the Black cultural and literary traditions of truth narratives, and transparency, these women share their historical, cultural, and contemporary experiences and insights with verve and authority. At the heart of their literary pursuit is the aspiration to live a more informed, enriched, and inspired life. In so doing, these writers offer us important lessons about creativity, hope, empowerment, courage, and self-expression.
