- FA26 ENGL 460 - Literature of American Minorities - Chris Freeburg - Black Music and American Literature after 1865 - In this course we explore the historical emergence of African American music to reveal their impact on US literatures; in addition to exploring the reach of this musical expression this topic is a special opportunity to think rigorously about the intersecting demands of interdisciplinary connectivity and disciplinary knowledge. This course studies spirituals, jazz, and blues in two overlapping modes of analysis: first, what is the form, physical and spiritual expression, folkloric and theological content contained in this music? Second, what literatures transcribe, document, and recreate this music in literary forms. We’ll read the fictional writing and essays of Thomas Higginson, Herman Melville, W.E.B. Du Bois, Albert Murray, Sterling Brown, Zora Neale Hurston, and Ralph Ellison.
