CW5085 Theory And Writing: Black Thought
This course gives centre stage to written and performative forms of Black resistance. We will examine foundational Black works in Arabic, English and French by Black Arab medieval Poets, Frederick Douglass, Aimé Césaire, Edouard Glissant and others. We will counterpoint these texts with theoretical works that deploy Marxist, postcolonial, feminist and queer approaches to critique slavery, colonialism and neocolonialism. No prerequisites.
