| Description: | ENG-160: African-American Environmental Literature. While environmental literature is often associated with white authors like Henry David Thoreau and John Muir, this course builds upon a growing body of scholarship in Black Studies and the Environmental Humanities that sees environmental concerns as important to the experiences and culture of African Americans. In the course, we will read authors like Phillis Wheatley, W. E. B. Du Bois, Zora Neale Hurston, Percival Everett, and Octavia Butler to explore the unique contributions black authors have made to the development of environmental consciousness in the U.S., including their recognition of ways that social and environmental issues are often intertwined for African Americans and other minorities. We will also identify aspects of environmental thought in the work of black musicians, filmmakers, scientists, and activists. |
