3 credits · Graduate

This course focuses on non-realist works by African American and African Canadian authors and how non-realist modes respond to and challenge institutional and other forms of racism in North America. We will study critical theories of Afrofuturism, science fiction, and non-realism more generally. This course will engage African American history, theories of science fiction and race, gender and queer studies. FORMATS: Seminar
