Expanded Course Description
In this class, we will read short stories by African American women writers. These texts will be our common ground as we learn to think deeply and write precisely about fiction in general and the short story form in particular. We will study each story with attention to its specific formal strategies, thematic concerns, and political, historical, and literary contexts. This means we will read for, discuss, and write about textual details such as voice, structure, character, syntax, and imagery; ways that our authors navigate ideas about race, gender, sexuality, ability, and class; and the relationship of each text to the African American literary tradition. This class requires substantial reading, at least 8-10 pages of writing, and vigorous participation. This course counts toward the Core Education group requirement in Arts & Letters. The course counts as a lower-division elective for the English Minor and for the English Major, but only one Introduction to Literature course (ENG 104, 105, 106) may be used toward requirements for the major or minor.
