Description:

Africa's literary backdrop is as vibrant and varied as the gamut of peoples, cultures, languages, and histories that make up the world's second largest continent. In this course students will retrace the major developments of African literature from the oral to the written, thereby exploring the different themes and the diversely rich approaches used by the practitioners of these different forms. From the epic of Shaka Zulu to the enthralling novels of Linus Asong, African literature offers exciting insights to the interplays of orality and literacy, of the ancient and the modern.
