LIT-331 African Encounters

This upper-level course examines several autobiographies written by authors from South Africa, Zimbabwe and Nigeria. Students study how these African and South African writers use autobiography to explore and define their individual life experiences as well as the collective life experiences of a community. Students are expected to use their critical-thinking and analytical skills as they examine the components of autobiography, the internal and external encounters of each author, and the political and social dimensions of the authors' experiences.
