ENGL 119. Black Cultural Studies

How have black writers both represented and theorized a series of tensions characterizing African American culture since the end of slavery-between past and present, roots and routes, folk and modern, sound and vision, city and country, nation and diaspora, culture and capital, people and power? Motivated by such concerns, this seminar will examine approaches to African American literature that are historical, cultural, and theoretical. Prior work in African American literature and/or Black Studies is recommended. Group II (post-1830)
