ENG 293 - Special Topics in African American Literature

Type of Course: Seminar
Special Topic for Spring ‘10 Unspeakable Things Spoken: Contemporary African American Women’s Literature 1970-Present The work of black women writers in America has experienced increasing momentum since the 1970s. Wrangling with the socially taboo questions of sexuality, intraracial abuse and violence, and complicit oppressive behaviors, authors such as Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, and Octavia Butler examine past and present sociohistorical issues to challenge our considerations of what it takes to attain justice, liberation, and peace in the creation of a just future. We will focus particularly on how black women writers articulate African American gendered, sexual, and political experiences. For undergraduate English majors this course satisfies the Period (C-3) requirement.
