ENG 231 Black and Latinx Literature
In this course we will read, discuss, and write about texts written by major Black and Latinx writers from the modern and contemporary periods. We will analyze works from a variety of genres - poetry, sermons, speeches, fiction, song and film. We will examine what these texts show us about the intersection of national origin, race, racism, identity and community, gender, sexuality, and class with American culture and its values.
