| contents | The New Carpetbaggers, Black Literature and Academia's Revolving Door. Pinsker, Sanford Black Literature Black Students College Faculty English Instruction Higher Education Library Materials Literary Criticism Writing (Composition) College English teachers today, in responding to black writers' demands for a forum, frequently resemble the old carpetbaggers, in that their teaching of black literature or composition reveals little or no background knowledge of the subject, with the course often being only a smoke screen for an informal study in something else. Such exploitation can be avoided, however, if English teachers with the necessary dual love for subject and student will become thoroughly acquainted with black literature, sustaining their studies on the foundation of scholarship and literary criticism. In the process, both valuable library materials and black student interest must be maintained. With a serious approach, the important creative atmosphere may be provided, and student respect may be earned. (JM) |
