ENG130

World literatures are works that travel outside the borders of their nations and into the world. In this course we will read contemporary world literatures by Black peoples in Africa and in the diaspora. As we read, we will ask: How do these literatures address themes like neocolonialism, gender, social justice, and global belonging? What do they teach us about the world out there, ourselves here, and how we're connected? We will read contemporary graphic novels, fiction, non-fiction, and poetry, always with questions of race and blackness in mind. This course counts toward the African Studies minor. Cross-listed as ENG-130. GLAFC, Spring semester.
