SoSe 23: Wright and Baldwin
James Dorson
Kommentar
This class revisits one of the most widely publicized literary controversies of the twentieth century, the rivalry between Richard Wright and James Baldwin. Seminal to the development of African American literature, their essays, stories, and novels represent divergent lineages for literary explorations of race and inequality in Black expressive culture today. Through close readings of select essays and their four most important novels—Wright’s Native Son (1940) and Black Boy (1945) and Baldwin’s Go Tell It on the Mountain (1953) and Another Country (1962)—this class explores the aesthetic and political resonances and divergences in their treatment of racial tensions in the US.
