Selected Contemporary North American Afro-Caribbean Women Writers
AFAM 337 FA

Coming-of-age novels by Merle Hodge and Beryl Gilroy will provide perspectives from an older generation of Caribbean-born writers publishing in English after 1950. Paule Marshall, Audre Lorde and other writers associated with the Black Women Writers Renaissance will be considered anew. The works of younger emigres to North America will broaden the exploration of language, geography and cultural hybridity. Readings include critical perspectives from Caribbean scholars.
