Section Info: SP23 ENGL 260, Chris Freeburg - This course surveys the vibrant and provocative creation of African American literature after the First World War to the 1980s. From the poetry of the Harlem Renaissance to postmodern black novelists, this course engages the trials and triumphs of black literature in the modern U.S. In addition to close readings of literary art, this course will also take advantage of visual media (documentaries, movies, television) and visual art (paintings and performance art) to give a full picture of the complexities that went into black writing in this period.
