Prerequisite: ENG 2150.
About this course
This course will survey Black literature in global contexts to explore and compare poetry, prose, fiction and creative non-fiction from African diaspora writers in the Americas, the Caribbean, Africa, and Europe since the end of the Second World War. It will situate texts in historical, political, and cultural contexts, such as in independence movements, colonialism, and Civil Rights, to develop interdisciplinary approaches to reading Black diaspora literatures. Students will receive credit for BLS 3002 or ENG 3002, not both. These courses may substitute for each other with the F-replacement policy.
