...(13471): The History of African-American Writing Fall 2015 Tuesday, Thursday 11:00-12:15 JR 244 Professor Nate Millsnathaniel.mills@csun.eduOffice hours: Tuesdays 1:00-3:30 and by appointmentSierra Tower 718 | Course Description / Objectives Through a historical survey of the work of major African-American writers from slavery to the present, this course will examine the defining features of African-American expression. The course is organized around a foundational question: what makes African-American literature African-American? Is it just a set of texts that happen to have been written by authors who identified as black in their respective historical moments? Are there distinct formal and thematic paradigms that unify these texts into a coherent literary tradition? What relation do black texts bear to other black texts, as well as to the Western canon? Are African-American texts necessarily “political,” by definition protesting the social and political marginalization of black people in America? Do African-American texts represent the particular experiences of African Americans, or do they (also?) address universal problems and experiences? The cultural, literary-formal, and political distinctiveness of African-American writing will thus be the guiding theme of this course’s rigorous, fast-moving survey. Additionally, students in 311 will acquire knowledge of the following: * The ways African-American writers have negotiated...

...Cedric Wyrick English 131 Professor Anderson November 13,2013 Annotated bibliography My first author is Jerome ump. Bump believes that racism is an form of emotion. As if you’re happy, sad, cheerful, you can feel racist. He states “that is unfortunate especially because emotions often generate more energy for reform of race, class, and gender inequities than abstractions.” I would never think that someone would feel racist. My next author is Kim Crosby. Crosby thinks that racism is surrounding us even today. She gave examples of how famous African American superstars are judged. “All of us, we are affected deeply by everything around us in the media to the underrepresentation of others.” If you’re successful it shouldn’t matter the color of your skin. This is LeAnne Coady on racism. I like Coady’s beliefs because she says we are all equal. “We have been told that everyone is a child of God and we are all created equal.” Amen! My fourth author Janine Johnson. Johnson’s idea on racism expands from your sex, religion, height, weight etc. “These minority characters struggle to succeed in 1940s society because they are not white, thin, male, young, heterosexual, Christian, and financially secure.

...Interracial Relationships: An Annotated Bibliography Danielle Harris English 101 De Haas April 9, 2009 Abstract Interracial couples or relationships have been around for longer then what we would think. The question is not of how it has come about but more so why is it highly not accepted by many people. Some people seem to turn their heads or look down on someone’s relationship if they are dating someone that is not the same skin complexion of them or basically the same race. The Annotated Bibliography following discusses some article where authors have made their opinions as to why this is such a sensitive topic for some. Whereas this topic may not be as important as the cure for cancer it is still important in that our beliefs can enslave our minds to doing very wrongful acts.

... II. Major Supporting Idea #1: Minorities lose trust with officials when there is malicious police conduct. ·they feel more attacked than protected. O “relationship between the police and minorities, especially African Americans, has been marked by a long history of violence and mistrust.” (Lersch,1999) ·minorities are targeted, and are cheated out of tax money for programs. The authors also used certain court cases to prove the fact. In this editorial, the authors decided to show how much money was being spent by comparing what the money could buy if it was not spent on police misconduct cases. This gives the reader a more physical example to how dire the situation is than using just numerical figures. (The Daily Record, 2011) ·minorities feel they are not going to have legal support. “This occurs despite the fact that race is often the focal point of misconduct in a way that disability status is not.” (Clark,2002) III.
