ENGL 142 - African American Novel


4 HU, CD
Second Semester. Many African American novelists have embedded what W. E. B. Du Bois called “double consciousness” in their forms and themes.  But hybrid narratives combining residual black folklore and Western literary genres have shifted over time and been named and studied variously.  This course constitutes a survey of major representative novels, or highlights, within the tradition from the 1850s through the 1970s (written by authors from William Wells Brown to Toni Morrison).
