AFST 430 - Black and Indigenous Literatures

3 Credit Hours
This course explores literary depictions of the relationships between Black and Indigenous peoples in the United States. Students will critically examine literary texts and historical documents from the nineteenth century to the present-day related to contexts such as colonialism, enslavement, forced displacement, and empowerment movements with attention to the experiences of Black and Indigenous peoples. Additionally, students will engage with key topics that intersect Africana and Indigenous Studies such as indigeneity, sovereignty, and reparations. Potential texts include works by W. E. B. Du Bois, Carter G. Woodson, Olivia Ward Bush-Banks, Zora Neale Hurston, Toni Morrison, bell hooks, and Tiya Miles.
