Choose an author and text (Langston Hughes Theme for English B and The Negro Speaks of Rivers) for your study. In a well-developed research essay, you will close read and analyze how that text defines, exemplifies, complicates, resists, and/or upends the idea of "America," "American," and/or "American literature." It is your job to interrogate how your text represents some aspect of "Americanness" in its contemporary moment, and, more importantly, how it challenges an easy and expected definition of America and/or American literature.
