ENG 340 Literature of the Black Diaspora

This course is a critical study of the literature of the Black diaspora examined from historical, social, and psychological perspectives. We will examine the social construction of 20th-century Black literature and investigate how authors expressed themselves through various artistic genres as they established a unique identity within an oppressive, racist, gender-biased, and capitalistic society. The class time is split between the classroom and online work, some in an adaptive learning environment. Pre-requisite(s): ENG 101, ENG 201 or ENG 201H, equivalent, or permission of chair or designate. Co-requisite(s): None. 5 quarter hours
