The focus of this course is the concept of the African diaspora with its broad cultural, social, political, and economic implications.

How does the condition of each nation-state, with its attendant hierarchy of race, ethnicity, class, and gender shape the (dis)continuities in these texts Ultimately, they question whether these narratives can cohere under the rubric of African/diaspora women's literature.
