ENROLL IN AFRICAN AMERICAN LITERATURE

English 31: African American Literature. Tuesdays & Thursdays, 12pm to 1:30pm in Emeritus 1626. This course is a survey of African American literary expression of the 18th, 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries and how it ties to the culture as it means to examine the interconnections between African American writing, music, visual arts, and folklore. The class will examine a range of genres, including painting, sculpture, fiction, poetry, music, drama, autobigraphy, nonfiction, and comics from the earliest published works by African Americans through to the present day, emphasizing the public sociality of Black lives and the responses to it. Further, the class will examine the formal connections of tradition-how differing authors work and rework certian styles, techniques, genres, and structures to represent African Americans. The class will explore a diverse body of ideas which nonetheless coalesce around the preoccupations of identity, freedom, mobility, sovereignty, and security as they relate to the African American experience. That thorugh an examination of key historical and political moments-e.g. segregation, Jim Crow, the Great Migration, war(s), The Black Codes, civil rights, and the feminist(s) movement(s)-this class is concerned with closely connecting artistic expression that has helped to shape American culture. This is important as the different aspects thread together the African American culture, as it is important to note that one of the best ways we process the tragic things that happen in our lives (individually or as a group) is through stories, dance, and music.
