This MA class will read and interpret selected works by major black writers from the U.S., the Caribbean, and Canada. Students will read texts by authors like Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, James Baldwin, Jamaica Kincaid, and Afua Cooper among others. Thematically we discuss the issues of identity, home, and belonging. Students will be required to participate regularly, provide a short written response to each text, and participate in the international conference on "Rethinking Home" (July 1-3, Bielefeld University conducted by Wilfried Raussert and Miriam Brandel) with specific tasks that will be developed during the course progression. The conference program will be announced at the beginning of the summer term.
