SOCI 007C. Sociology Through African American Women’s Writing

Interrogating the explicit and implicit claims that black women writers make in relation to work by social scientists, we will read texts closely for literary appreciation, sociological significance, and personal relevance, examining especially issues that revolve around race, gender, and class. Of special interest will be where authors position their characters vis-à-vis white supremacy, patriarchy, capitalism, and the U.S.
Social sciences.
