This short essay should be an intellectual engagement with your topic \”African American studies and literary canon\”. Please do *not* provide a your approach is up to history of literary canon. Your approach is up to you. You may connect to a literary or cultural text in some depth; you may close read and analyze the theoretical texts in your field; you may evaluate the utility of your topic for our moment; you may take an activist approach and offer thoughts on; say, Black lives matter or the academy.
*I suggest writing what\’s the role of educators as activists to set an African American course syllabus? and how can they balance between literary canon (which is dominated by white writers) and new syllabuses as Fergurson syallbus
Ferguson Syllabus
or black lives matter syllabus
