Expanded Course Description
| In this course, we will study poetry of the Black Arts Movement (BAM) in its literary, political, and cultural contexts. BAM is the cultural arm of the Black Power Movement and was at its peak from about 1965 to about 1976. BAM writers are diverse in terms of form, genre, gender, geography, and other vectors of identity, but are united in their belief that literature can and must foment Black liberation. We will closely read the form and content of a variety of poems by authors who did and who did not identify themselves as Black Arts poets in this period. We will use relevant scholarly writings to deepen our understanding of the aesthetics, politics, and history of the Black Arts Movement. We will listen to and watch poets performing their work and may also study relevant works of visual art. Authors whose works we may read include Amiri Baraka, Ntozake Shange, Larry Neal, June Jordan, Audre Lorde, Sonia Sanchez, Ishmael Reed, Nikki Giovanni, Mari Evans, Jayne Cortez, and Gwendolyn Brooks. The goal of this course is to help you engage with African American literature, improving your writing, reading, and critical thinking skills in the process. This class requires substantial reading and writing and vigorous participation.
This course counts as upper-division coursework in the English Minor and as upper-division coursework for the English Major in these categories: C-Literature 1789-Present and G-Empire/Race/Ethnicity.
