Black Speculative Literature works specifically as a locus for a critique of reality that centers the specific alienation of Black people in the past, present, and sometimes future. In this four-week online course, explore the major works of Black Speculative Literature, thinking about the meaning of a literary field that assumes the inadequacy of reality—or realism—as the sole category for remembering, thinking, and living in the 21st century.
