Crosslistings: AFAM 476 |
This course will examine how within a 20-year period, American writers attempted to define race, ethnicity and Americaness after a failed Reconstruction. We will explore experimentations of regional voice, the plantation narrative and its revisions, the serial novel, the black women's club movement, and the modernist project. We will consider how the theme of racial crisis brings about literary innovation, and how within this atmosphere occurs a shift in American writing from regionalism to modernism.
