Calendar Description / Prerequisite / Co-Requisite

Borrowing its title from Austin Clarke's famous novel, this course examines Toronto, Canada and London, UK as important meeting points for various Black diasporic communities since the mid-20th century. It considers how cross-cultural movements and exchanges are represented in various creative works, such as novels, short stories, poetry, memoir, film, and multimedia art. Guest speakers including Black Canadian authors will be invited depending on availability in a given year.
