Modern African Literature

ENGL 1710J S01 [CRN: 24615]

Many African writers produce their works in one European language or another. Often, these works are more widely read in Europe and North America than on the African continent itself. This course will use these facts as starting points to explore key themes, antecedents, and intellectual contexts of contemporary African writing. We will examine fiction, drama, poetry, critical prose, and visual materials. Writings by Achebe, Farah, Ngugi, Soyinka, Vera, Wicomb. Films by Davidson, Kouyaté, Teno. DVPS
