Course Description
Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024.
In this course, we will read some of the most influential examples of a genre at the intersection of literature and history: the memoir of the revolutionary. As we study the autobiographies of Russian, American, Spanish, and German leftist political figures like Leon Trotsky, Emma Goldman, Dolores Ibarrui, and Angela Davis, we will consider the literary methods these writers use to intertwine their own life stories with political history. How is life-writing a form of revolutionary self-fashioning? What is the political utility of autobiographies like these? With special attention to the question of gender, ethnicity, religion, and race.
When Offered Spring.
