Topic Title - Fall 2016: Reclaiming 'Africanness' in African Lusophone Post-Colonial Literatures and Cultures. Short Description: This course explores the concept of 'Africanness' in late 20th and early 21st century literatures and film from Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde, as well as from Portugal by authors brought to Africa as children before the anti-colonial movements. Through these literary texts as well as film, students will also learn how to question African identity as distant from the eurocentric definition.
