Questions to help guide your work:
Are there any direct historical references in the contemporary work? Are there any implied historical references in the contemporary work? Are there any allusions to earlier literary works, either by African Americans or others, in the contemporary selection? (Look up “allusion” here) If the contemporary work references a current event, can the cause or effect of that event be traced to a particular historical event, person, or phenomenon? Does the reception or popularity of the contemporary work reflect the difficulties we have when talking about the history of African American life in America? Does the reception or popularity of the contemporary work surprise or disappoint? Does the contemporary artist consider him or herself an activist? Does the contemporary art reflect popular culture? Do you see any similarities between the traditional, classic, and modern art-making by African Americans and the art-making of contemporaries? Do you notice any differences?
Does the contemporary work fit into any of the categories of protest described in the module resource? Does it incite any feelings of hope for a future reckoning of our shared past as Americans?
Look back:
Please take a moment to review the modules and note what lessons or topics most resonated with you.
Look Around:
With a historical perspective in mind, review the contemporary African American offerings and samples in the modules’ literature, music, and film genres.
Look Up, Ahead, Backward, and Forward Again:
Exploring the intersection of history and contemporary art-making, write a short exploratory essay that references both the work of African American artists from the past and present. Only use those we have covered in the class this semester.
