AWS 1510 Introduction Africana World Literature

This course introduces students to a culture-sensitive reading and appreciation of literature. Using the global literatures of African peoples as primary core traditions, the course provides critical, technical, and historical approaches to a cross-cultural exploration of literature and the intertextual relationships between African-world texts and literary works from non-African traditions. Selected texts cover various genres, time periods, racial-ethnic categories, and geographical areas of the world.
