AML 4261 Spring 2020 Roberts

In this course, we will explore a variety of texts from and about the American South, with special attention to how race shapes Southern culture. Students will be expected to read and comprehend at a very high level (this is an advanced course and will be taught as such) and produce sophisticated, erudite, clear, and intellectually-rigorous writing.

WARNING: Books for this course are complex, difficult and often quite long. If you get behind on your reading, your grade will suffer. If you are not prepared to commit to challenging work, you might do better enrolled in another class.
