Description: |
The focal point of this course is to engage womanist literature and theory, works written by Black women, as a source for doing theology and rhetoric. Commencing with the seminal scholarship of Rev. Dr. Katie Cannon, womanist theological ethicist, who affirms, “the Black women’s literary tradition is the best available repository for understanding the ethical values Black women have created and cultivated in this society.” This course takes up writings that engage the everyday experiences of women of the African Diaspora navigating oppressive socio-political contexts (particularly) and the human condition (universally). Students will read primary historical and contemporary autobiographical, fictional, theoretical, and poetic texts. |
