ENG 294 - African American Literary and Critical Race Theory

Utilizing the theoretical approaches found in African American literary criticism of the 20th and 21st century, this course will evaluate the complex relationship of racial thought in African American literary theory. Creating an understanding of the relationship of literature to the larger experience of African Americans, students will analyze the dialogue of racial identity, Black feminist/womanist thought, Poststructuralism, queer theory, intersectionality, cultural studies, essentialism, and critical race theory from the 1920s to today.

For English majors, this course satisfies the E requirement. For English minors, this course can count either as a seminar in Theory or as a 200-level English seminar, but it cannot double count for the two requirements.

Course Designation/Attribute: AP, DI
