Assignment: The Africana Experience

General Book Review Guidelines

1. What is the subject matter of the reading? You may start with a broad contextualization of the subject matter, main idea, or argument.

2. What are the salient and auxiliary ideas, issues, and/or arguments? These two pointers will guide you in crafting an introduction.

3. Discuss each of the salient points/issues and their supporting facts or arguments.

4. Do you find these arguments, discussions, and expositions convincing?

5. What knowledge or experience of the issues, ideas, or events discussed in the reading do you have that supports your position above?

6. Evaluate the organization of the reading. Is it easy to understand?

Your essay should be free flowing using full sentences and paragraphs to structure and organize your thoughts and ideas. The guidelines above are just that: guidelines.

Note: The title of your review should be: the author and title of the reading being reviewed.

Additional Book Review Guidelines (The Souls of Black Folk)

1. As you work on this assignment, your discussion should be informed and framed by the focus of this class.

2. Just as Achebe's Things Fall Apart focused on the experience and civilization of an African civilization and culture group, Du Bois' The Souls of Black Folk selection is aimed at helping us understand the African American experience (descendants of Africans in the United States).

3. To this end, you may want to focus on the experience (read this experience as the social, economic, and political problems) of Black America after the emancipation in 1865 up till 1903 when Du Bois' book was published (which was his objective in publishing the book).

4. You also need to identify and discuss Du Bois' blueprint for full emancipation.

5. A good way of evaluating the book is to access the efficacy of Du Bois' recipe for full emancipation.

6. To conclude your review, you can compare race relations today to what it was in 1903.

7. Avoid the temptation of plagiarizing the myriad of sources that are online (e.g., Wikipedia, Sparknotes, etc.). Be warned also that I have an archive of past essays on this assignment for the past 10 years. Any plagiarized work will score a zero. In addition, the student will be referred to the Office of the Dean of Students for additional sanctions.

8. Pay attention to the formatting requirements for this assignment on page 5 of the Course Syllabus.
