At the intersection of history and literature, this course is a study of the phenomenon of Pan-Africanism, or global unity, cooperation, and mutual cultural and political kinship among people of African descent, as it appears in Africana literatures. Students will explore the three primary theoretical orientations to Literary Pan-Africanism, contextualize Pan-Africanism in tandem with related concepts of transnationalism and internationalism, and explore both fiction and nonfiction genres that represent Diasporan and African experiences of return, heritage travel, and multidirectional migration.
