ENG 182 - African American Literature I

Type of Course: Lecture, Discussion
Addresses major periods and principal authors of the African American canon. Readings may cover a historical span that could range from the 18th century to the present or could represent focused concern with select authors and/or a given literary movement. Students are expected to gain a historically as well as a culturally contextual appreciation of the literature produced by writers of African descent in the Americas. For undergraduate English majors and minors, this course partially satisfies the Historical Sequences (A) requirement.
