Course DescriptionGreat World Text is an advanced English and Social Studies course sponsored by the University of Wisconsin’s Center for Humanities. This year will consist of The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man, the landmark 1912 novel by James Weldon Johnson. Known only as the “Ex-Colored Man,” the protagonist in Johnson’s novel is forced to choose between celebrating his African American heritage or “passing” as an average white man in a post-Reconstruction America that is rapidly changing. The course will encounter themes of racial passing, multiracial families, and African-American music traditions.
