ENG 124 - African American Drama and Film

Semester Hours: 4

This class explores African-American culture, from the days of slavery to the present, through reading, discussing, and analyzing plays written by important African-American playwrights and also by examining the issues those texts and the African-American experience raise. In our discussions and various assignments, what it means to be “Black” in America will be investigated by examining the characters these writers have created, by learning about the playwrights’ lives, and also by exploring the historical climate at the time these texts were created.
