This course proposes to look at developments in theoretical thinking about African American literature to see where it began, what turns it took and its relationship with theory about mainstream literature. To do this, we will read and discuss major theoretical works from three watershed eras for literature and theory: the Harlem Renaissance, the period of the Black Aesthetic/Black Nationalism and contemporary Poststructuralism. To make these theoretical reading more pragmatic, we will also read so me literary (as opposed to theoretical) works.
Unless preregistered students attend the first class meeting or communicate directly with the instructor prior to the first class, they will be dropped from the class list. NOTE: Students must still submit a completed Drop/Add form to the Registrar's Office.
