LIT-225 African Literature (3)

We come to know the world through the stories that are told about it, but all too often African stories are told by people outside of the continent. This course immerses students in fiction and creative forms written by Africans. Students discuss some of the classics of African literature, read contemporary bestsellers, and talk about literature and translation in the digital age. They closely examine form, style, and language while also discussing the ways in which colonialism, race, gender, sexuality, migration, and everyday life are depicted and dramatized by African writers. AU Core Habits of Mind: Creative-Aesthetic Inquiry. AU Core Integrative Requirement: Diversity and Equity. Usually Offered: fall.
