This honors course, intended for students in the Honors Transfer Program, surveys the literary, social, and cultural aspects of African American novels, drama, short stories, essays, and poetry, with a concentration on material from the last century to the present, and its relevance to the many histories, writings, and voices that have both shaped and reflected African American experiences. How African Americans see and portray themselves, and how they are seen and portrayed by others, in relation to the dominant Western culture, to issues of racism and sexism, and to the themes of identity, representation, and social power, will be critically explored. The honors course provides more content and requires greater intensity and depth of study than the non-honors class (UC, CSU, AVC).
