General Track Book of the Month

Memphis by Tara Stringfellow

Unfolding over seventy years through a chorus of unforgettable voices that move back and forth in time, Memphis paints an indelible portrait of inheritance, celebrating the full complexity of what we pass down, in a family and as a country: brutality and justice, faith and forgiveness, sacrifice and love.

Exploration Track - Spring 2023

African-American Women's History and the Metalanguage of Race by Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham

Thru July 2023

Article is included in the syllabus.

Often referred to as “The Metalanguage of Race,” Higginbotham’s essay is critically esteemed for its emphasis on Black women’s history and pointed analyses of the essentialism of gender and race in the academy, particularly feminist theory.  “Metalanguage” laid the groundwork for what scholars–such as literary scholar Saidiya Hartman and historian Sarah Haley–would call a Black Feminist Framework and Methodology within historical research.
