Blk/Brwn Reading Resistance

3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

This course combines literary and cultural studies approaches to examinations of how reading and various literacy practices in Black and Latino communities have served as an important strategy for resistance and liberation movements across the globe. We will determine broader meanings of literacy, and we will theorize on the role literacy and language plays in the formation of identity and issues of self-determination stemming from class, race, gender, sexuality, and nationality.
