Write a 700- to 1,050-word essay that includes discussion of the following:

A summative description of two works of multicultural literature produced during the Civil Rights era.
A description of the subjects or themes of each of your two selected works and how these themes are characteristic of Civil Rights-era multicultural literature.
How your authors employed strategies of resistance in their works; in other words, how did they challenge the status quo in their form, (where did they stage plays, for example) and in their establishment of identity that countered expected norms of behavior?
