Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This seminar takes on a small selection of those primary and secondary texts which make up the UK’s black cultural archive. This is a body of work which focuses not only on identity, ethnicity, and gender and race relations, but also seeks to represent the long-standing black presence on the British Isles in its multiplicity and complexity. Focussing on historical, critical and theoretical materials – such as work by Stuart Hall, Paul Gilroy or Peter Fryer – the seminar engages students in debates about how to read, how to teach, how to contextualize, how to historicize, and how to theorize black British literary and visual cultural production.
