Studies Fiction: African-American Experience ((3))

Catalog description

Intensive examination of African-American experience as portrayed in slave and contemporary African-American Literature, fiction and critical essays using various critical approaches (e.g., multicultural, postcolonial, mythological, historical, and formalist). Such themes as slavery, alienation, religion, and triumph of the spirit will be explored. As we discuss African-American experience in the selected fiction, we will also be engaged in comparative analysis of the images of Blacks presented in selected major non-Western literatures.
