First, choose a text from the course and situate it within the modern era (1650-present). To historicize your text, you will research primary and secondary sources that provide relevant political, social, biographical, and cultural context. Structure your paper around responses to the following questions: What is the relationship between form and content in the text? How does your chosen work of literature represent racial and gendered bodies surviving amidst and resisting state, economic, and cultural violence?
