Block 3: Advanced Topics in Literary and Cultural Studies: Black Women Writers and Slavery. The theme of this course takes into account various strategies Black women writers have used to re-imagine themselves outside of the definitions that slavery and the popular imagination have imposed. We will examine different literary genres, as well as works written from the nineteenth century to the present. Texts include those that deal directly deal with slavery and those that do not. An important conceptual model for the course is of a palimpsest; thus our task is essentially an "archaeological" one as we reconstruct a hidden history and the efforts of some to write about it-on the blurred and erased pages of their sisters. We look mostly at contemporary writers like Toni Morrison, Octavia Butler, Gayl Jones, Sherley Ann Williams, Alice Walker, and Angela Davis. We examine Black and white feminists' theories on the relationship between maternity and the maternal role and the historical literary processes of "degendering" and "regendering" Black womanhood.
