I have an essay forthcoming in the next SECC that argues it’s our responsibility to teach 18th Black writers in all period courses, and with ideas about how to do it!

Absolutely not! My Brit Lit survey: Wheatley, Equiano, Louise Bennet, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Grace Nichols, Kamau Brathwaite and lectures on the slave trade, abolition and Windrush pasts and presents. Also Salman Rushdie with ‘A Passage to India’ and discussions of Macaulay.

I explain that I teach Anglophone lit, not just British lit (which excludes Ireland anyways). How can one teach the white authors without the history of Empire and the voices of colonialism?
Kiitos. Käytämme tätä aikajanasi parantamiseen. KumoaKumoa

Nope. Because that wouldn't be right. Trying to think of the last time I took a class with only white authors taught, it might have been 2004?

I mean, stating the obvious here, but the stretch of time that featured writers like Sancho, Wheatley, Equiano, Cugoano, Occom, Jupiter, etc. etc. simply cannot be taught as a whites-only course . . . what is this, Jim Crow? DOES anyone still teach C18 surveys like that??

I’m afraid they do.
