Topics in Black Literature: Black Women Artist-Intellectuals
(LA)
Professor(s): Mendi L. Obadike
Description/Objectives:
This course explores work produced in what are presumably two contexts--the creative and the intellectual. Some works might be perceived as objects of creative fields (ie: the poetry book, the performed script, the documented conceptual artwork) and others of intellectual fields (ie: the scholarly book or essay). We will ask whether the "creative" works might be read as part of each artist's intellectual project, and whether the "scholarly" works might be read as part of her artistic project. Our work will require us to explore the ways in which notions of "intellectual", "artist", and "black woman" inform each artist's work and career.

Topics in African American Literature: Gender, Sexuality, and the African American Novel
(LA)
Professor(s): Miriam J. Petty
Description/Objectives:
This course pairs readings of post-New Negro Movement works by African American authors with key readings in black feminist theory. To the extent that issues of gender and sexuality often play an uneasy second to issues of race when considering works of African American literature, this course offers students an explicit and extensive opportunity to consider the complex interplay between race, sexuality, and gender in modern political and cultural formations. Many of the course's novels share a concern with issues of family, especially gender-based dynamics between parents and children.
Sample Reading List:
Anne Petry , The Street
James Baldwin , Go Tell It on the Mountain
Richard Wright , Native Son
Ernest Gaines , A Lesson Before Dying
Alice Walker , The Third Life of Grange Copeland
Audre Lorde , Zami: A New Spelling of My Name
Reading/Writing Assignments: Approximately 150 pp. of reading weekly. Attendance and class participation are mandatory. Three papers: two short essays (5 pages) and one longer essay (8-10 pages).

African-American Literature: Black Women Writers of the 1940s and 1950s
No P/D/F
Professor(s): Valerie A. Smith
Description/Objectives:
Jacqueline Goldsby has referred to the post-World War II/pre-Civil Rights Movement era as the second "woman's era" in African American literature. Although Gwendolyn Brooks, Margaret Walker, Ann Petry and Lorraine Hansberry achieved unprecedented critical and popular acclaim during the period of the 1940s and 1950s, they have received little attention as a group who circulated in personal and literary networks. We will read works by these writers in relation to each other in order to consider such issues as the formal and thematic appeal of their work and their place in contemporary literary, political and public intellectual life.
Sample Reading List:
Gwendolyn Brooks , A Street in Bronzeville
