Course Description

This course will explore the themes of racism meets horror stories. This course will use the dark fantasy horror television series "Lovecraft Country" to uncover blackness, queerness, fantasy, and the struggle against racism and imperialism. We will deconstruct the idea of reclaiming spaces while harnessing the economic power essential to changing the narrative about race in a.m.erica.
