Any topic (writer’s choice)

For the term paper, you may study Black national literature, distinguished writer, text or any group of works that present a coherent framework for analysis. Focus on under-researched areas, like Black writing in Latin America are, especially encouraged. Critical analysis of a work, for example, may explore such issues as race, gender, class, identity, form, style, culture, characterization or the interplay of such elements in the narrative or meaning construction process.
