Class Description:
Black Women Writers in the United States will explore novels, short stories, essays, poetry, memoirs, and drama from the 18th to the late 20th century. The course will critically explore the literature, criticism, theory, contexts and intersections of race, gender, nationality and other historical, social, economic, political and cumulative positions and identities as conveyed and read within the literature texts and their mutable perspectives. The course will consider the assigned texts within larger and applicable literature canons with an emphasis on the close reading, interpretation, synthesis and facilitation of new, different and expanded knowledge, responses and ideas to and about the literature and its infinite meanings, interpretations and applications to the aesthetics and experiences of Black Women in the United States, the larger Diaspora and the (all inclusive) human condition.
