HUMN 6350 - The Art of African-American Storytelling
Credits: 3
Explains the traditional roots of African-American storytelling from Africa through the diaspora and examines the survival, uses, and importance of verbal arts in the African-American culture. The course also explores the cultural clashes between African-American descendants whose experiences are disparate: one group dominated by respect for the oral tradition and the other dominated by reliance on authorized written texts. May be applied to the following curricular field concentrations: humanities; arts and cultural traditions; American studies; human rights and social justice; gender studies.
