TI 255-PO - The Politics of Alice Walker

Min Units: 3
Max Units: 3
This course will introduce students to the great works of Alice Walker, who is accomplished in many literary areas – poetry, short stories, novels, and political/cultural essays. Infused in all of her works is her personal and evolving political worldview, with which so many diverse people identify, and yet her voice is distinctly African-American female. We will read an array of her texts and develop an understanding of what drives her political identity. (U) Spring
