ENGL 212 - The African American Literary Imagination

3 Credits

(Fall)
Prerequisite(s): ENGL 101 and ENGL 102. This course explores how Africans in America have represented group and individual identities, aspirations and frustrations, and triumphs and defeats through the medium of writing. Focusing on selected texts from the enslavement era to contemporary literature, students will explore and analyze the trajectory of freedom, the resonance of culture, imaginations of Africa, and the politics of race.
