Kommentar: This course will introduce you to literature written by black American women. Surveying African American women’s texts, we will be reading works by writers such as Harriet Jacobs, Zora Neale Hurston, Toni Morrison, and Claudia Rankine. Further, we will consider central theoretical concepts these writers also engage, for instance intersectionality, and discuss black feminism. This course is meant to provide you with an overview of black women’s literature; you will thus be asked to do quite a bit of reading. Please be aware of this fact when taking the class. We will also cover the basics of academic writing.
