Summer Session I, May 30 - June 29, 2023
Online: MTWTh, 06:00PM - 09:00PM

This course will consider the canon of African American literature through an expansive definition of protest. We will examine how the meaning of protest has evolved from the 18th century to the present. As we interrogate the relationship between Blackness and protest, we will also discuss how that history has consistently shaped American identity.
