This course will survey African American literature from narratives of the enslaved to voices of the present. We will closely consider how various forms of literature have created a unique African American literary voice, and have affected both African Americans' understandings of themselves, as well as the ways in which they have been historically imagined. We will interrogate not only historical and political contexts, but also how issues of gender, ethnicity, sexuality, and class intersect with our chosen texts.
