Black Literatures and Cultures

Students explore a wide range of literatures produced by authors and critics throughout the Black diaspora that examine how Blackness is articulated, claimed, challenged, and produced. From Negro spirituals, to hip hop; from slave narratives to Afro-futurism; from early community newspapers to contemporary podcasts -- students enhance their critical skills by exploring the roots and routes of Black literary expressions. This course may be organized thematically or by specific geographical location.
