Section Title:
Ellison and Baldwin
Section Info:
Topic Section 1G: Ralph Ellison and James Baldwin What is the relationship between what it means ?to live? and the idea of American freedom? During much of the twentieth-century Ralph Ellison and James Baldwin struggled with the question, what does it mean to be black and live in a modern democracy. This course we will engage these writers as well as music, visual art, and comedic performances over the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in order to explore how notions of living and freedom are shaped by both grand political events and everyday social life. In addition to reading Ellison and Baldwin?s prose we will focus on how to make better arguments and refine prose writing while paying special attention to interesting historical artifacts and new media aesthetics.
