Overview

Key features

Gain a deeper understanding of the work of black American writers with a concentration in African American Literature. Read and research works from the 19th Century through today, including many authors from here in Mississippi.

In addition to the English core classes, Mississippi University for Women students choose from literature classes in African American Literature, Black Women Writers, Ethnic American Literatures, Native American Literature and Religion, or Literature in the Postcolonial World. We are planning to offer more classes in this area, and see the African American Literature concentration as a step towards an African American Studies program.
