LLS 270 Afro-Latinx Literature
3 hours
This course examines Afro-Latinx writers in the United States. It explores how Afro-Latinx literature reimagines race and depicts the complexity of the Black experience within different social contexts. We will track the experience of Afro-Latinx characters who traverse race in society and who navigate encounters that warp, complicate, and broaden their sense of themselves. Discussions will also focus on an ethics of freedom by addressing the impact of racism on individuals and society.
