Ishmael Reed is one of the most prolific, long-practicing and controversial African American writers. A novelist, poet, essayist, playwright, editor, and publisher who has often battled the literary establishment, Reed has been active since the 1960s. This course explores his work against the backdrop of late 20th century African American literary practices.

This course satisfies the “1900-2000 Guided Elective" requirement for English concentrators and Secondary Field students.
