Afro-American Studies 590STA - Black Women/Latin Am&Caribbean

This course will explore moments of possibility, belonging, and being in works of literature by Black and Indigenous Women from Latin America and the Caribbean. Through various methods and mediums, these writers raise the question: what exactly constitutes one?s sense of self and a sense of place? In this upper-level class we will expand our reading of various politics around identity, Indigeneity, and Blackness as they relate to the understanding of feminism for Black women in Latin America and the Caribbean.
