ENGL 216 — African-American Literature II
; Attributes: HU, LA This course examines the works of African-American writers and performers after the Harlem Renaissance to the present including the periods of Realism, Naturalism, and the development of the Black Arts movements of the 1960s. Emphasis is placed on political, historical, and cultural contexts of the readings, with a particular focus on contributions and challenges to Anglo-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 II does not have to be taken after African-American Literature I.
