Description:

Americans don't just have social protests and reform movements, they write fiction to convince others of the rightness of their cause. This course, based on reading, lecture, and discussion, considers the context and the impact of several protest novels and plays in American history, examining the issues they protested, the means of persuasion they used, and their success (or failure). The social movements and protest fiction we will discuss will change from year to year, but will include classics such as Uncle Tom's Cabin(slavery); The Jungle(industrial working conditions); Native Son or To Kill a Mockingbird(racism); or The Crucible(McCarthyism). 1.00 units, Lecture
