Engaging Black Women's Literature  

This course will explore how African American novelists and academics from the 1940s to the explore the struggles of race, class, gender, sexuality and politics through fiction and non-fiction. We will read Ann Petry's The Street, Alice Walker’s Meridian, and Tricia Rose’s Longing to Tell. These critically acclaimed text will assist the class in exploring the fine line between imaginative fiction and the lived material reality of Black womanhood in America. As an upper level graduate student, my interest in Black feminist theory and politics will help guide our reading of the texts. Limit: 30 Brittany Lewis, CLA graduate student in Gender, Women & Sexuality, U of M
