Literature & Culture

Literature is a critical site for Black cultural work and reparative action. In this course, we will reach to a transnational and multi genre network to explore these dimensions of Black literary production. Together, we will consider the ways that literature shapes contemporary Black cultures, knitting members in (and beyond) the Black diaspora closely together-culturally, imaginatively, politically, and otherwise.  This course carries two General Education requirements (AL, DU) for 4 credits.
