This course reads exemplary U.S. novels and poems that spotlight and conceal the racial realities of our culture, drawing particular attention to the way our national ideas about race originate in the history of slavery and genocide. the course focuses on the ways in which attitudes about race in U.S. literature inform discourses of criminality, of femininity, of science, of primitivism, of passing, and of servitude, to name a few. Authors may include William Wells Brown, Harriet Beecher Stowe, John Rollin Ridge, Maria Amparo Ruiz de Burton, Mark Twain, James Weldon Johnson, George Schuyler, William Faulkner, Richard Wright, Toni Morrison, Gloria Anzaldua, and others.
