- In this course, we will survey the artistic achievements of Black women writers from the era of American slavery to the end of the twentieth century. Our reading list will include slave narratives, autobiographical works, and novels. To further develop and extend our engagement with their works, we will also read some of the foundational works of Black feminist theory, with special attention to Kimberlé Crenshaw's theory of intersectionality, which demands consideration of the multiple oppressions - involving race, gender, and class - that have shaped Black women's lives. Join us as we encounter some of the most unforgettable and enduring works of the American literary canon.

Together, we will consider how we all perform our identities through our gestures, styles, professions, genders, nationalities, races, and religions. But on a larger scale, performance also can be understood as a mechanism that has structured relations of power throughout history via public events and phenomena such as politics, ritual, protest, cultural narratives, and dramatic productions of all kinds.
