GAH 1750AFRICAN AMERICAN LIT AND CUL

Catalog

This tutorial focuses on a critical examination of selected literary texts from the Harlem Renaissance period until the present. Students will become familiar with the ways in which African-American cultural and social experience are reflected in the thematic, the structural and the linguistic forms of the literary art. Through the study of this particular canon, students will enhance their appreciation and comprehension of literary works in general, and the ways that they provide us with novel visions of the human experience.
