To continue developing reading strategies to tackle the ambiguous nature of literary texts.
To learn about and explore Black women’s poetic voices.
We will introduce black women’s poetic voices in the Western world and the power of agency: ethnic identity, gender issues, poverty, the experience of slavery, racism, migration and community affiliation. Our focus will be on gender, ethnicity and language, since these can be seen as key elements to construct cultural identity or as vehicles to perpetuate oppression. We will delve into poetic worlds which are hybrid, marginal and ethnically marked. We will read and analyse poems by Maya Angelou, Gwendolyn Brooks, Audre Lorde, Grace Nichols, Merle Collins, Sojourner Truth, Jackie Kay & Elizabeth Acevedo.
Online Reading Breakfast session. Dialogical and interactive approach in which participants will
discuss the poems and the topics introduced as well as analyse the different ways in which artists
express their concerns.
