AS 2000  -  Introduction to African American Literature (3)

This course surveys African American literature from its beginnings through the 20th century. We’ll examine a range of texts-including poems, slave narratives, autobiographies, novels, and songs-with specific attention to how these texts situate African American consciousness and experience historically and culturally within the larger American narrative. Additionally, we will consider how these texts lend themselves to the development of a specifically African American literary tradition. Fall.
