(same as AAS 377) A study of selected African American Literature from the colonial period through Reconstruction, this course will build students' knowledge and confidence as readers and critics of African American culture and society in the United States. We will look at these texts through a lens focused on the effects produced by struggles with American fictions of race, class and sex and their intersections with categories of gender, ethnicity and nation. The course will also explore the canon of African American Literature, its literary tradition, and the connection to and diversions from the canon of American Letters.
