[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The specifying race in an English class would make me very uncomfortable. For history and there be a lesson on it, yes, but as a political statement, no.[/quote] It is difficult to study American lit in any meaningful way without discussing race because it decontextualizes both the fictional events and the author that produced the work. Laura Lippman has spoken about audience reactions to her latest novel, saying that she could not write about Baltimore without writing about race. Imagine studying British lit without ever discussing social class?[/quote]
