Topics in Black Literature: Black Women Artist-Intellectuals<br>
(LA)</b>
<br>
<b>Professor(s):</b>
Mendi L. Obadike
<br>
<br>
<b>Description/Objectives:</b>
<br>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.<br>

Topics in African American Literature: Gender, Sexuality, and the African American
Novel<br>
(LA)</b>
<br>
<b>Professor(s):</b>
Miriam J. Petty
<br>
<br>
<b>Description/Objectives:</b>
<br>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.<br>

this course draw heavily from personal narratives, oral testimonies, and
historical scholarship. One three-hour seminar.<br>

African-American Literature: Black Women Writers of the 1940s and 1950s<br>
</b>
<i>No P/D/F</i>
<br>
<b>Professor(s):</b>
Valerie A. Smith
<br>
<br>
<b>Description/Objectives:</b>
<br>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.<br>
