Consider the origins and evolution of the African diaspora, and the many forms of its expression. Consider how the African diaspora has shaped US society today, exploring significant themes such as slavery and colonialism, race and cultural identity; intra-racial/cultural and cross-continental alliances and antagonisms; gender and genre; and the paradoxical fate so far-cultural visibility but peripheral political and economic power- of global Afro-cultures. Think about how African-American writers have been influenced by the experience of the African diaspora, and also about the ways that cultural expression from around the world has shaped US culture. ### requirements text Sophomore standing ### credits min 3 ### credits max 3 ### credit offering ids * 1272:352:023992 ### llm job id enrich-8b774950c2b6adfdc46d1b82 ### llm output id 61cf3e84e2f0f09133aab7beee6f965168d5568259a05421a203ddb870ab2908 ### llm model nvidia/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-NVFP4 ### llm model revision 1355db6a052410cfd62085d94b58866fd0f2c3c5 ### llm task version 14 ### llm search status valid ### llm summary ENGL 374 explores African, Caribbean, and African American literary and cultural texts, examining the African diaspora's impact on US society and global Afro-cultures. ### llm topics * Geographic regions of the African diaspora * Slavery, colonialism, and race * Alliances and antagonisms within and across cultures * Gender and genre in cultural expression * Global Afro-cultures and their visibility/power ### llm skills * Analysis of literary and cultural texts * Understanding the origins and evolution of the African diaspora * Exploration of themes like slavery, colonialism, and identity ### llm assumed background None recorded. ### llm search phrases * African diaspora literature * African American culture * Caribbean texts * slavery colonialism race * Afro-cultures US society ### llm requirements status valid ### llm student summary status valid ### llm experience status insufficient\_evidence ### catalog variants None recorded. ### student summary #### context hash 9a196ef623429450c7a773e06e2b24d2b7df1234cc091eb147e63e32eb8aa850 #### course id ENGL 374 #### current instructors ```json [ { "instructor_uid": "instructor_5ad35721f23db3e6e85f2b98", "message": "No course-specific reviews available", "name": "A.
