University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

A course focusing on the fiction, poetry, drama, film, and/or critical writings produced by women of the African Diaspora. The particular issues focused on will vary from year to year, but are likely to highlight their engagement with such themes as exile, gender, race, eco-sustainability, sovereignty, mobility, and postcolonialilty. The course may focus on women's literary traditions within separate regions of the African Diaspora (African, African American, or Caribbean) or may work comparatively. Theoretical paradigms produced by or about Black women, including race theory, postcolonial theory, and psychoanalytic theory (among others) will also be explored.
