ENGL 215 — African-American Literature I
; Attributes: HU, LA This course examines the works of African-American writers and performers from the periods of colonization and slavery through the Harlem Renaissance. Emphasis is placed on political, historical, and cultural contexts of the readings, with particular focus on contributions and challenges to Euro-American culture and to simultaneous developments internationally among peoples of African descent. Since the course is based on time periods and major authors, African-American Literature I does not have to be taken before African-American Literature II.
