#LovecraftCountry: The Unofficial Syllabi
In August 2020, we were watching alongside you and catching some of the Black history gems that #LovecraftCountry dropped on us every week. Many media outlets covered the themes in H.P. Lovecraft's works and how they gave context to each episode.
Still, much like Misha Green's sentiment about reclamation, our syllabi focuses exclusively on the Black innovations and Black history mentioned in each episode. Each section has clickable titles, that will take you to books, archives, research institutions, and more! Use the buttons below to download a syllabus for each episode.
This "syllabus" is a tool of your own making:
It could be the start of a paper that amalgamates the resources we provide here.
A checklist of reads, and things-you've-been-meaning-to-get-to.
An atlas turned sketchpad.
A journal you might find in Atticus' book bag.
Every resource provided in this syllabus is ONLY mentioned to provide more insight into the topic. Each section of the syllabus has spoilers! Read after you've watched the episode. If spoilers don't bother you…just read! Ha!
