GND 305 - Woman of Color Writers

Three credits
Every Other Fall

In this course we will look at the intersections of gender, race, and sexuality in the fiction and non-fiction work of women writers of color, mostly U.S. and mostly 20th century, but not exclusively.  Among the topics/questions we’ll explore: creating and reclaiming self/identity, family and community, racialization and the state, forgotten/remembered histories, sexuality, queer of color critique/theory, violence in borderlands, intimacy, and motherhood.  Possible writers include Toni Morrison, Audre Lorde, and Leslie Marmon Silko.
