BLST 062. Classic Black Autobiography (Cross-listed with ENLG 062) A survey of twentieth-century Black autobiography, emphasizing the significance of the autobiography as an act of representation, not simply a document of experience. What strategies do Black narrators like Du Bois, Wright, Hurston, Dunham, Baldwin, Lorde, and Malcolm X employ to represent themselves, and how? How do their textual strategies and contextual concerns change from the Jim Crow regime into the post-Civil Rights era? 1 credit.
