Description:
In addition to Toni Morrison, several of the most prominent contemporary African-American women writers employ Greek myth or mythological archetypes, especially that of Persephone, to structure their work. After an initial explanation of relevant mythological themes and contemporary issues in African-American feminist critique, this class will explore literature by Rita Dove, Gloria Naylor, and Alice Walker. Bag lunch is included if your registration is received by Feb. 26.
