This course traces the history of African American literature from the late 18th century to the 21st century, highlighting a range of genres, including slave narratives, lyrical poetry, short fiction, drama, autobiography, and the novel. The focus will include African American identity and the intersection between culture and literary tradition. Emphasis will also be placed on understanding narrative structure, oral traditions, and literary influences, as well as the social justice aspect of African American literature. Students will design a final scholarly project that demonstrates the learning objectives of the course and will write an analytical paper on a book read independently. Students must have completed three courses at the 2000 level, one of which is a 2000 level literature or composition course, with grades of C or higher, as prerequisites for this course.
