Contemporary Black & Asian Writing: The British Context Engineering Program Spring 2020 Semester - London

Using a diverse range of writing and genres, this module examines a range of texts that have reconfigured the British literary landscape and continue to challenge conceptions of ?English? literature. We use a variety of critical texts by contemporary literary and cultural theorists whose work encourages new perspectives on the stylistic and socio-cultural values of literature by black and Asian writers. Students study work by dramatists, including work in performance; poets and novelists including Monica Ali, Carly Phillips, Hanif Kureishi, Debbie tucker green, Zadie Smith, Nadeem Aslam, Mike Phillips, Bernardine Evaristo and Diana Evans.
