ENGL 3771
The African Novel: Sex, Violence, Language and Power

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2015-2016.

We shall map the growth of the African novel by looking at the pursuit of sex and power through psychological, political, linguistic and sexual violence. Or to put it differently, how have different generations of African writers dealt with questions of sex, violence, language and power? The goal of the seminar is to increase appreciation and understanding of African literature and literature in general, while at the same time sharpening analytical, critical, oral and written skills. Students will be expected to lead discussions, engage in peer critiques and, through scholarly essays, engage African literary criticism.

When Offered Fall.
