    Description
    ENGLT 332 explores the African-American literary tradition from 1930 to present times. This course examines the evolution of the African-American vernacular and oral tradition. Course readings will explore critical texts, autobiographies, essays, poems, plays, short stories, and full length novels written by iconic and influential African-American authors ranging from the modernist period to contemporary times. Class content will be situated in historical, socio-political context as well as connected to modern day concerns about Black authorship, Black liberation, and social justice in the United States.
