Adopt the theoretical stance of race and identity theory to construct a discussion of Baldwin’s Another Country.

Assignment Question

For the essay, you will adopt the theoretical stance of race and identity theory to construct a discussion of Baldwin’s Another Country. Your critical perspective must be clear in the discussion.

In other words, I don’t want you to begin with “I am writing a Reader Response analysis of Baldwin’s Another Country.” You must understand the elements of your chosen theory and use one theory as a lens through which you will view the story. Remember to “do” the theory rather than explaining how the theory works. This essay will be 5-8 pages in length and must follow MLA parenthetical formatting guidelines. DILIGENTLY AVOID PLOT SUMMARY!

Your essay should demonstrate that you have read Another Country and thought critically about a specific issue in the novel. There is no need to restate the sequence of events in the story. TIP: Phrases like “and then,” or “next” should raise red flags: Check for plot summary. This is a formal academic project. Don’t forget that as an academic writer/researcher, your task includes seeking out and utilizing the work of scholars who have gone before you. If you have theoretical questions—if you are not clear on what your chosen theoretical approach might look like—review the reading material for this class (Lynn and others) and/or use the library and research.

You must utilize the work of no fewer than 4 and no more than 7 outside sources for this assignment. This is a critical analytical paper, not an “opinion” piece. This is not to say that your thesis will not reflect your perspective on the text—your point of view—it must also demonstrate your ability to locate primary and secondary sources and to integrate the theory you are using with your own ideas.

You must utilize the work of no fewer than 4 and no more than 7 outside sources for this assignment. Be certain to note that a text is always discussed in the present tense. While the book may have been produced in the past, it exists as a text in the present. Thus, it will be “the character states,” “the scene opens,” etc. Many of the secondary sources you consult will follow this form and make convenient models.
