HUMN 6330 - Wit and Humor in African-American Literature
Credits: 3
The goals of this course are to reach a better understanding of the aesthetics, cultural and historical experiences, and literary conventions of African-American writers. The focus is on traditional wit and humor in the selected works. Authors include traditional writers such as Hurston and Hughes, and contemporary writers such as Toni Morrison, J. California Cooper, and Ishmael Reed. Since African-American literature is based on oral tradition, students are expected to present individual readings and/or performances. May be applied to the following curricular field concentrations: arts and cultural traditions; humanities; American studies.
