This course takes a deep dive into the writings of Toni Morrison, the foremost African-American novelist of our time. Winner of the Pulitzer and Nobel Prizes for Literature, Toni Morrison’s works probe vital questions about race, gender, and power in our contemporary culture. Starting with The Bluest Eye  and going through the Beloved trilogy, we will read Morrison’s novels, as well as her critical writings on race and American literature and culture. Students can expect discussion-based classes, a fairly heavy reading load, two to three critical essays, and a final project of their choosing.
