【Course Objectives】

To read, discuss, and analyze the novella Quicksand (1928) authored by Nella Larsen.

【Course Contents】

Nella Larsen was born to a mixed-race father and a white mother, the latter of whom had immigrated to the United States from Denmark. After her mother married another Danish immigrant, Nella encountered the daunting reality of what it meant to grow up "black" in a white family in Chicago. Quicksand deals with the theme of a search for self-identity as the protagonist, Helga Crane, struggles to find the people with whom she belongs.
