    English 254 Katy Ryan, ENGL 254, Fall 2001, African American Literature ENG 254: African American Literature: The Music of Political Protest Katy Ryan Stansbury 354 Phone: 293-3107 x424 email: [email protected] Office Hours: Tues. / Thurs. 1:15-2:15 and by appt. Course Description The history of published literature by people of African descent in the United States begins with a book of poems: in 1773, Phillis Wheatley published Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral. Today, multiple black literary traditions have emerged--from rural and urban areas, different economic classes, various ethnic and religious histories, and opposing political allegiances. This introductory class focuses on the struggle for social and personal liberation in mid-nineteenth through twentieth-century literature. That is, we will be primarily concerned with literary texts that represent black survival in a country founded on and defined by white supremacy. We will begin with Harriet Jacobs's Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl (1861)--a memoir and abolitionist text--and conclude with Anna Deavere Smith's Twilight (1994)--a performance piece created from interviews with people who were involved in the 1992 L.A. Riots. One of our tasks will be to consider how different literary forms (the memoir, novel, poem, essay, performance piece) encourage readers / spectators / audiences to engage with the philosophy and spirit of resistance. How can artistic work move people to work for justice? We will also listen to recordings from early twentieth-century blues and jazz artists as well as contemporary rap and hip-hop performers. The conjunction between literary and musical genres will help us to define both formal aesthetics and movements for radical social change.

While I had no idea we'd lost it, I sup- pose the blurbist has a point. Gizzi, who during the late 1980s and early 1990s co-edited the excellent and eclectic journal 0-bi14, writes within an avant-garde tradition that sometimes views melopceia with suspicion, or else discounts it entirely. What place song in the ranks of savage, analytic parataxis? I'm happy to report that whether or not the lyric actually needed "recovering," Some Values presents a range of wonderfully musical moments, as in the title poem to the book's "History of Lyric" section, a pre-Raphaelite idyll in a world of electronic static: I lost you to the inky noise just offscreen that calls us and partly we got stuck there waving, walking into the Percy grass.

  • Black Lives Matter”: Learning from the Present, Building on the Past
    From “We Shall Overcome” to “Black Lives Matter”: Learning from the Present, Building on the Past Abstract: The nationwide uprisings that have occurred since the George Floyd murder are a profound reminder that the racial inequities that have existed since the “founding” of the country. People of African descent have constantly been fighting for freedom, equity and equality. They continue to resist carefully structural impediments that are designed to maintain and preserve white privilege and power. I have been involved in an emerging organization at The George Washington Carver High School for Engineering and Science that is working toward achieving equity and awareness in our building and communities. One of the students’ main concerns is a lack of Afrocentric curricula. Much of my teaching career has been devoted to designing and implementing inquiry-based curricula that explicitly connects African and African-American literature, film, history and culture. This particular project emphasizes the roles of women in the classic civil rights movement and the current Black Lives Matter movement. Students will study individuals and create various texts that will serve to educate peers and other members of the school community. This project can be implemented in any context that will emerge this school year, whether it be distance learning, a hybrid model or in- person teaching and learning. Keywords: inquiry-based learning, culturally responsive teaching, collaborative learning, dialogic teaching, civil rights, Black Lives Matter, Black Art, feminist pedagogy. Content Objectives: Curriculum as Continuum Here is one response to a COVID-19 on-line assignment: Keyziah McCoy: If I could describe this year in one word it would be heart wrenching.

  • Toni Morrison: the Pieces I Am
    TONI MORRISON: THE PIECES I AM A Film by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders LOGLINE This artful and intimate meditation on legendary storyteller Toni Morrison examines her life, her works and the powerful themes she has confronted throughout her literary career. Morrison leads an assembly of her peers, critics and colleagues on an exploration of race, history, America and the human condition. SYNOPSIS Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am offers an artful and intimate meditation on the life and works of the legendary storyteller and Nobel prize-winner. From her childhood in the steel town of Lorain, Ohio to ‘70s-era book tours with Muhammad Ali, from the front lines with Angela Davis to her own riverfront writing room, Toni Morrison leads an assembly of her peers, critics and colleagues on an exploration of race, America, history and the human condition as seen through the prism of her own literature. Inspired to write because no one took a “little black girl” seriously, Morrison reflects on her lifelong deconstruction of the master narrative. Woven together with a rich collection of art, history, literature and personality, the film includes discussions about her many critically acclaimed works, including novels “The Bluest Eye,” “Sula” and “Song of Solomon,” her role as an editor of iconic African-American literature and her time teaching at Princeton University. In addition to Ms. Morrison, the film features interviews with Hilton Als, Angela Davis, Fran Lebowitz, Walter Mosley, Sonia Sanchez and Oprah Winfrey, who turned Morrison’s novel “Beloved” into a feature film. Using Timothy Greenfield-Sanders’ elegant portrait- style interviews, Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am includes original music by Kathryn Bostic, a specially created opening sequence by artist Mickalene Thomas, and evocative works by other contemporary African-American artists including Kara Walker, Rashid Johnson and Kerry James Marshall.
