Nigerian American fiction-writer, feminist, and public intellectual Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is well-known for her TED talks, “The Danger of a Single Story” and “We Should All Be Feminists.” She is also internationally acclaimed for her short stories and novels, which have attracted “a new generation of young readers to African literature,” inspired countless young African writers, and prompted much critical scholarship. This course will focus on this brilliant 21st century Anglophone writer’s fiction and non-fiction, and include some recent social media debates. Supplementary readings include postcolonial and feminist theory, history, and literary criticism. Enrollment limited to 12. Juniors and seniors only. Instructor permission required.
