View all SJC classes
This course introduces students to literature that engages the history of “race riots” in the United States, including uprisings of enslaved people, mob lynchings, attacks on Black-owned businesses, and protests against police brutality. Typical authors studied: Nat Turner, David Walker, Charles W. Chesnutt, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Anna Deavere Smith, Mat Johnson, and Claudia Rankine. We will also examine historical documents, recent events, popular culture artifacts, and social justice movements to contextualize these literary works.
