This course will include representative works by American Indian, African American, Asian American, Chicano/Chicana writers, and/or Jewish American writers, ranging from Nobel and Pulitzer prize-winning masters to upcoming genre authors and debut authors. In reading these works, we will discuss social and cultural factors informing America's literary past and present. As these authors honor identity, celebrate community, and deal with the complexities of the modern age, they also explore America's shared and problematic past. Because this course is Writing Intensive, we will spend considerable time drafting, discussing, and revising papers. Techniques for writing a paper, close reading strategies, and relevant critical approaches will be discussed. As we tease out the meanings and methods of our texts, we'll also identify and analyze key literary devices.

Class Description:

Details

Our course is an 8-week summer session course that begins on June 12 and concludes on August 4, 2017. This is a 4-credit, writing intensive course that fulfills the writing requirement, the literature core requirement, and the diversity and social justice in the US requirement. We meet three times a week for roughly three hours every session. *** NOTE: Room change *** We will meet in Mechanical Engineering, Room 102 (the building next to Lind Hall). Mechanical Engineering is quite close to the Coffman train/bus stop, is fully accessible with elevators, and has central air-conditioning.

Due to the accelerated pace of this course, time will be provided in-class to work on projects such as the group presentation, and there will be at least one in-class work day in which students will be able to use class time to work on papers or get ahead on readings.

Overview

Our course will include representative works by American Indian, African American, Asian American, Chicano/Chicana, and Jewish American writers, chiefly from the 20th century, ranging from Nobel- and Pulitzer prize-winning masters to upcoming genre authors and debut authors. In reading these works, we will discuss social and cultural factors informing America's literary past and present. As these authors honor identity, celebrate community, and deal with the complexities of the modern age, they also explore America's shared and problematic past--"how history works itself out in the living," as author Louise Erdrich has phrased it. In the course of our discussions, we will engage with contemporary genres/modes of writing, including traditional literary fiction, poetry, plays, spy and detective fiction, speculative fiction, and the graphic novel.

Requirements

You will be required to read four novels (three shorter novels and one longer novel), one play, and one graphic novel outside of class. During class time, we will read short stories and poems, as well as watch three films and several interviews. Class sessions will also include lectures, discussion, quizzes, freewriting, and other short writing assignments. Weather permitting, we may take a field trip to a local museum or conduct class outside occasionally.

Because this course is writing-intensive, we will also spend considerable time reading, drafting, discussing, and revising papers, which will largely take place during in-class workshops and conferences. Techniques for writing a paper, close reading strategies, and basic critical approaches will be covered. As we tease out the specific meanings and methods of each work through close reading and focused textual analysis, we'll also identify, define, and analyze such elements of literature as theme, motif, perspective, metaphor, and imagery.

Assignments

three informal 1-2 page response papers on our readings

two formal papers (each paper will be preceded by a paper proposal and a draft of the paper, which you will workshop in-class)

one 20-minute presentation on the assigned readings for that day, to be prepared with a partner or small group

3 quizzes on literary terminology, critical approaches, and reading comprehension

in-class writing and reading comprehension exercises, individually and in small groups

This course will include representative works by American Indian, African American, Asian American, Chicano/Chicana writers, and/or Jewish American writers, ranging from Nobel and Pulitzer prize-winning masters to upcoming genre authors and debut authors. In reading these works, we will discuss social and cultural factors informing America's literary past and present. As these authors honor identity, celebrate community, and deal with the complexities of the modern age, they also explore America's shared and problematic past. Because this course is Writing Intensive, we will spend considerable time drafting, discussing, and revising papers. Techniques for writing a paper, close reading strategies, and relevant critical approaches will be discussed. As we tease out the meanings and methods of our texts, we'll also identify and analyze key literary devices.

Class Description:

Details

Our course is an 8-week summer session course that begins on June 12 and concludes on August 4, 2017. This is a 4-credit, writing intensive course that fulfills the writing requirement, the literature core requirement, and the diversity and social justice in the US requirement. We meet three times a week for roughly three hours every session. *** NOTE: Room change *** We will meet in Mechanical Engineering, Room 102 (the building next to Lind Hall). Mechanical Engineering is quite close to the Coffman train/bus stop, is fully accessible with elevators, and has central air-conditioning.

Due to the accelerated pace of this course, time will be provided in-class to work on projects such as the group presentation, and there will be at least one in-class work day in which students will be able to use class time to work on papers or get ahead on readings.

Overview

Our course will include representative works by American Indian, African American, Asian American, Chicano/Chicana, and Jewish American writers, chiefly from the 20th century, ranging from Nobel- and Pulitzer prize-winning masters to upcoming genre authors and debut authors. In reading these works, we will discuss social and cultural factors informing America's literary past and present. As these authors honor identity, celebrate community, and deal with the complexities of the modern age, they also explore America's shared and problematic past--"how history works itself out in the living," as author Louise Erdrich has phrased it. In the course of our discussions, we will engage with contemporary genres/modes of writing, including traditional literary fiction, poetry, plays, spy and detective fiction, speculative fiction, and the graphic novel.

Requirements

You will be required to read four novels (three shorter novels and one longer novel), one play, and one graphic novel outside of class. During class time, we will read short stories and poems, as well as watch three films and several interviews. Class sessions will also include lectures, discussion, quizzes, freewriting, and other short writing assignments. Weather permitting, we may take a field trip to a local museum or conduct class outside occasionally.

Because this course is writing-intensive, we will also spend considerable time reading, drafting, discussing, and revising papers, which will largely take place during in-class workshops and conferences. Techniques for writing a paper, close reading strategies, and basic critical approaches will be covered. As we tease out the specific meanings and methods of each work through close reading and focused textual analysis, we'll also identify, define, and analyze such elements of literature as theme, motif, perspective, metaphor, and imagery.

Assignments

three informal 1-2 page response papers on our readings

two formal papers (each paper will be preceded by a paper proposal and a draft of the paper, which you will workshop in-class)

one 20-minute presentation on the assigned readings for that day, to be prepared with a partner or small group

3 quizzes on literary terminology, critical approaches, and reading comprehension

in-class writing and reading comprehension exercises, individually and in small groups

Class Description:

In Introduction to Multicultural Literatures of the United States, we will read a carefully curated selection of work by American writers of color, ranging from Nobel and Pulitzer prizewinning masters to debut authors. As we tease out the specific meanings and methods of each work through close reading and focused textual analysis, we'll also identify, define, and analyze such elements of literature as theme, motif, genre, structure, form, perspective, tone, voice, imagery, and metaphor.

Learning Objectives:
EngL 1301W satisfies the Literature Core requirement
EngL 1301W introduces students to the cultural, historical, and social legacies of racial oppression in the United States. It considers the ways in which imaginative writings, sounds and images shape, confront and counter prevailing poetics and narratives about the self and the nation. Through essay writing, conversation, and examinations, students do the work of engaging closely and directly with works of literature. EngL 1301W thus satisfies the Literature Core requirement in three specific ways. First, it focuses on analysis of written works of literature. Students study the meanings of a wide range of biographies, stories, essays, poems, and novels. Second, the course pays particular attention to the formal dimensions of literature. Finally, students examine the cultural, historical, and social contexts of literary works as well as their content.

EngL 1301W satisfies the Diversity and Social Justice in the US Theme
EngL 1301W explores issues of power and the American identity throughout the semester. Students focus upon the institution of slavery as the primary example of how social power, prestige and privilege came to be in the hands of one people. More broadly, the course explores the history of institutions and race as they impact each other and as racial identity informs literary genres, forms, styles, and practices. EngL 1301W raises students' awareness of the importance of diversity to the advancement of African-Americans as well as other diverse constituents of the US.

EngL 1301W fulfills Student Learning Outcomes.
Students in EngL 1301W learn how creativity, innovation, discovery, and expression become acts of resistance against racialized identities in America. In this course, students learn to identify and counteract these identities, a skill that will serve them throughout their entire lives. They also learn to engage the many diverse philosophies and cultures that together compose the intricate fabric of American culture and society.

EngL 1301W is a Writing Intensive course.
This course meets the Council on Liberal Education guidelines for a Writing Intensive course. This means that the course:
• integrates writing into course content, through writing assignments that work toward specific course objectives and writing activities that take place throughout the semester
• provides explicit instruction in writing
• requires a cumulative minimum of 2,500 words of formal writing apart from any informal writing activities and assignments
• includes at least one formal assignment that requires students to revise and resubmit drafts after receiving feedback from the course instructor
• requires that at least one-third of each student's final course grade must be tied to the written work done in the course and that a student cannot pass the course and fail the writing component

As these authors honor identity, celebrate community, and deal with the complexities of the modern age, they also explore America's shared and problematic past. Because this course is Writing Intensive, we will spend considerable time drafting, discussing, and revising papers. Techniques for writing a paper, close reading strategies, and relevant critical approaches will be discussed. As we tease out the meanings and methods of our texts, we'll also identify and analyze key literary devices.

Class Description:

In Introduction to Multicultural Literatures of the United States, we will read a carefully curated selection of work by American writers of color, ranging from Nobel and Pulitzer prizewinning masters to debut authors. As we tease out the specific meanings and methods of each work through close reading and focused textual analysis, we'll also identify, define, and analyze such elements of literature as theme, motif, genre, structure, form, perspective, tone, voice, imagery, and metaphor.

Learning Objectives:
EngL 1301W satisfies the Literature Core requirement
EngL 1301W introduces students to the cultural, historical, and social legacies of racial oppression in the United States. It considers the ways in which imaginative writings, sounds and images shape, confront and counter prevailing poetics and narratives about the self and the nation. Through essay writing, conversation, and examinations, students do the work of engaging closely and directly with works of literature. EngL 1301W thus satisfies the Literature Core requirement in three specific ways. First, it focuses on analysis of written works of literature. Students study the meanings of a wide range of biographies, stories, essays, poems, and novels. Second, the course pays particular attention to the formal dimensions of literature. Finally, students examine the cultural, historical, and social contexts of literary works as well as their content.

EngL 1301W satisfies the Diversity and Social Justice in the US Theme
EngL 1301W explores issues of power and the American identity throughout the semester. Students focus upon the institution of slavery as the primary example of how social power, prestige and privilege came to be in the hands of one people. More broadly, the course explores the history of institutions and race as they impact each other and as racial identity informs literary genres, forms, styles, and practices. EngL 1301W raises students' awareness of the importance of diversity to the advancement of African-Americans as well as other diverse constituents of the US.

EngL 1301W fulfills Student Learning Outcomes.
Students in EngL 1301W learn how creativity, innovation, discovery, and expression become acts of resistance against racialized identities in America. In this course, students learn to identify and counteract these identities, a skill that will serve them throughout their entire lives. They also learn to engage the many diverse philosophies and cultures that together compose the intricate fabric of American culture and society.

EngL 1301W is a Writing Intensive course.
This course meets the Council on Liberal Education guidelines for a Writing Intensive course. This means that the course:
• integrates writing into course content, through writing assignments that work toward specific course objectives and writing activities that take place throughout the semester
• provides explicit instruction in writing
• requires a cumulative minimum of 2,500 words of formal writing apart from any informal writing activities and assignments
• includes at least one formal assignment that requires students to revise and resubmit drafts after receiving feedback from the course instructor
• requires that at least one-third of each student's final course grade must be tied to the written work done in the course and that a student cannot pass the course and fail the writing component

This course will include representative works by American Indian, African American, Asian American, Chicano/Chicana writers, and/or Jewish American writers, ranging from Nobel and Pulitzer prize-winning masters to upcoming genre authors and debut authors. In reading these works, we will discuss social and cultural factors informing America's literary past and present. As these authors honor identity, celebrate community, and deal with the complexities of the modern age, they also explore America's shared and problematic past. Because this course is Writing Intensive, we will spend considerable time drafting, discussing, and revising papers. Techniques for writing a paper, close reading strategies, and relevant critical approaches will be discussed. As we tease out the meanings and methods of our texts, we'll also identify and analyze key literary devices.

As we tease out the meanings and methods of our texts, we'll also identify and analyze key literary devices.
Class Description:

This course will provide a historical survey of twentieth- and twenty-first-century fiction and poetry written mainly by American authors who do not belong to the historically dominant or majority races, ethnicities, religions, and/or cultures of the United States. We will ask questions such as the following: What is the relationship between culture (defined broadly as the set of practices and attitudes that characterize a group of people) and creative writing? How do racial oppression, political activism, religious conflict, economic exploitation, international relations, and other social facts shape works of art - and vice versa? What are the obligations of writers toward the marginalized or oppressed cultures to which they may belong? What are the obligations toward those writers of readers who do not share their culture? Is "culture" a synonym for race and ethnicity or can it encompass other identities - gender, sexuality, class, religion? What is multiculturalism and how does it transform concepts like literature or the nation? Finally, how has imaginative writing itself changed across the many artistic and political movements spanning the period from early twentieth-century modernism to contemporary world literature? As this course is also an introduction to literature more generally, we will pay careful attention to literary form and literary history; as this is a writing-intensive course, we will focus on responding to literature in written argument.


We will likely read novels by Nella Larsen, Richard E. Kim, Philip Roth, Louise Erdrich, and Valeria Luiselli, and poetry by Gertrude Stein, William Carlos Williams, Langston Hughes, Gwendolyn Brooks, Robert Hayden, Frank O'Hara, Anthony Hecht, Adrienne Rich, Amiri Baraka, Paula Gunn Allen, Yusef Komunyakaa, Garrett Hongo, Lorna Dee Cervantes, Marilyn Chin, and more.

Who Should Take This Class?:
Anyone who wants to read a diverse selection of modern and contemporary American literature and learn more about the diversity of American culture.
Grading:
Grading will be based on regular written responses to the material and a midterm and final essay.

Class Description:

Details

Our course is an 8-week summer session course that begins on June 12 and concludes on August 4, 2017. This is a 4-credit, writing intensive course that fulfills the writing requirement, the literature core requirement, and the diversity and social justice in the US requirement. We meet three times a week for roughly three hours every session. *** NOTE: Room change *** We will meet in Mechanical Engineering, Room 102 (the building next to Lind Hall). Mechanical Engineering is quite close to the Coffman train/bus stop, is fully accessible with elevators, and has central air-conditioning.

Due to the accelerated pace of this course, time will be provided in-class to work on projects such as the group presentation, and there will be at least one in-class work day in which students will be able to use class time to work on papers or get ahead on readings.

Overview

Our course will include representative works by American Indian, African American, Asian American, Chicano/Chicana, and Jewish American writers, chiefly from the 20th century, ranging from Nobel- and Pulitzer prize-winning masters to upcoming genre authors and debut authors. In reading these works, we will discuss social and cultural factors informing America's literary past and present. As these authors honor identity, celebrate community, and deal with the complexities of the modern age, they also explore America's shared and problematic past--"how history works itself out in the living," as author Louise Erdrich has phrased it. In the course of our discussions, we will engage with contemporary genres/modes of writing, including traditional literary fiction, poetry, plays, spy and detective fiction, speculative fiction, and the graphic novel.

Requirements

You will be required to read four novels (three shorter novels and one longer novel), one play, and one graphic novel outside of class. During class time, we will read short stories and poems, as well as watch three films and several interviews. Class sessions will also include lectures, discussion, quizzes, freewriting, and other short writing assignments. Weather permitting, we may take a field trip to a local museum or conduct class outside occasionally.

Because this course is writing-intensive, we will also spend considerable time reading, drafting, discussing, and revising papers, which will largely take place during in-class workshops and conferences. Techniques for writing a paper, close reading strategies, and basic critical approaches will be covered. As we tease out the specific meanings and methods of each work through close reading and focused textual analysis, we'll also identify, define, and analyze such elements of literature as theme, motif, perspective, metaphor, and imagery.

Assignments

three informal 1-2 page response papers on our readings

two formal papers (each paper will be preceded by a paper proposal and a draft of the paper, which you will workshop in-class)

one 20-minute presentation on the assigned readings for that day, to be prepared with a partner or small group

3 quizzes on literary terminology, critical approaches, and reading comprehension

in-class writing and reading comprehension exercises, individually and in small groups

In reading these works, we will discuss social and cultural factors informing America's literary past and present. As these authors honor identity, celebrate community, and deal with the complexities of the modern age, they also explore America's shared and problematic past. Because this course is Writing Intensive, we will spend considerable time drafting, discussing, and revising papers. Techniques for writing a paper, close reading strategies, and relevant critical approaches will be discussed. As we tease out the meanings and methods of our texts, we'll also identify and analyze key literary devices.

As we tease out the meanings and methods of our texts, we'll also identify and analyze key literary devices.
Class Description:

This course will provide a historical survey of twentieth- and twenty-first-century fiction and poetry written mainly by American authors who do not belong to the dominant or majority races, ethnicities, religions, and/or cultures of the United States. We will investigate questions such as the following: What is the relationship between culture (defined broadly as the set of practices and attitudes that characterize a group of people) and creative writing? How do racial oppression, political activism, religious conflict, economic exploitation, and other social facts shape works of art - and vice versa? What are the obligations of writers toward the marginalized or oppressed cultures to which they may belong? What are the obligations toward those writers of readers who do not share their culture? Is "culture" a synonym for race and ethnicity or can it encompass other identities - gender, sexuality, class, religion? What is multiculturalism and what is its effect on concepts like literature or the nation? Finally, how has literature itself changed across the many artistic and political movements spanning the period from early twentieth-century modernism to contemporary world literature? As this course is also an introduction to literature more generally, we will pay careful attention to literary form and literary history; as this is a writing-intensive course, we will focus on responding to literature in written argument.


Likely authors: Gertrude Stein, William Carlos Williams, Langston Hughes, Nella Larsen, Gwendolyn Brooks, Robert Hayden, Frank O'Hara, Anthony Hecht, Richard E. Kim, Adrienne Rich, Amiri Baraka, Philip Roth, Paula Gunn Allen, Yusef Komunyakaa, Lorna Dee Cervantes, Marilyn Chin, Louise Erdrich, Toni Morrison, David Treuer, Valeria Luiselli, and more.

Who Should Take This Class?:
Anyone who wants to read a diverse selection of modern and contemporary American literature and learn more about the diversity of American culture.
Grading:
Grading will be based on two essays, a midterm and final exam, and participation/attendance.
Exam Format:
Midterm and final exam, consisting of short answer and passage identification questions

This course will include representative works by American Indian, African American, Asian American, Chicano/Chicana writers, and/or Jewish American writers, ranging from Nobel and Pulitzer prize-winning masters to upcoming genre authors and debut authors. In reading these works, we will discuss social and cultural factors informing America's literary past and present. As these authors honor identity, celebrate community, and deal with the complexities of the modern age, they also explore America's shared and problematic past. Because this course is Writing Intensive, we will spend considerable time drafting, discussing, and revising papers. Techniques for writing a paper, close reading strategies, and relevant critical approaches will be discussed. As we tease out the meanings and methods of our texts, we'll also identify and analyze key literary devices.

Class Description:

Details

Our course is an 8-week summer session course that begins on June 12 and concludes on August 4, 2017. This is a 4-credit, writing intensive course that fulfills the writing requirement, the literature core requirement, and the diversity and social justice in the US requirement. We meet three times a week for roughly three hours every session. *** NOTE: Room change *** We will meet in Mechanical Engineering, Room 102 (the building next to Lind Hall). Mechanical Engineering is quite close to the Coffman train/bus stop, is fully accessible with elevators, and has central air-conditioning.

Due to the accelerated pace of this course, time will be provided in-class to work on projects such as the group presentation, and there will be at least one in-class work day in which students will be able to use class time to work on papers or get ahead on readings.

Overview

Our course will include representative works by American Indian, African American, Asian American, Chicano/Chicana, and Jewish American writers, chiefly from the 20th century, ranging from Nobel- and Pulitzer prize-winning masters to upcoming genre authors and debut authors. In reading these works, we will discuss social and cultural factors informing America's literary past and present. As these authors honor identity, celebrate community, and deal with the complexities of the modern age, they also explore America's shared and problematic past--"how history works itself out in the living," as author Louise Erdrich has phrased it. In the course of our discussions, we will engage with contemporary genres/modes of writing, including traditional literary fiction, poetry, plays, spy and detective fiction, speculative fiction, and the graphic novel.

Requirements

You will be required to read four novels (three shorter novels and one longer novel), one play, and one graphic novel outside of class. During class time, we will read short stories and poems, as well as watch three films and several interviews. Class sessions will also include lectures, discussion, quizzes, freewriting, and other short writing assignments. Weather permitting, we may take a field trip to a local museum or conduct class outside occasionally.

Because this course is writing-intensive, we will also spend considerable time reading, drafting, discussing, and revising papers, which will largely take place during in-class workshops and conferences. Techniques for writing a paper, close reading strategies, and basic critical approaches will be covered. As we tease out the specific meanings and methods of each work through close reading and focused textual analysis, we'll also identify, define, and analyze such elements of literature as theme, motif, perspective, metaphor, and imagery.

Assignments

three informal 1-2 page response papers on our readings

two formal papers (each paper will be preceded by a paper proposal and a draft of the paper, which you will workshop in-class)

one 20-minute presentation on the assigned readings for that day, to be prepared with a partner or small group

3 quizzes on literary terminology, critical approaches, and reading comprehension

in-class writing and reading comprehension exercises, individually and in small groups

Class Description:
With the advent of the Internet and increasingly expedient global transportation, our world is an increasingly "transnational" one. Today, what does it mean to be "American" in the backdrop of globalization? To answer this question, this course will investigate racial politics and the different strategies of self-expression employed by Asian Americans in works by Chang Rae-Lee, David Henry Hwang and Jhumpa Lahiri, to name a few. Analyzing these works will bring us closer to understanding the nature of citizenship and ethnic American subjecthood, as well as the ways recent immigrants and citizens negotiate complicated feelings of longing, belonging and at-home-ness in the US.

With the advent of the Internet and increasingly expedient global transportation, our world is an increasingly "transnational" one. Today, what does it means to be "American" in the backdrop of globalization? To answer this question, this course will investigate the different strategies of self-expression employed by second-generation immigrant American writers like Chang Rae-Lee, David Henry Hwang and Jhumpa Lahiri. Analyzing these works will bring us closer to understanding the nature of citizenship and ethnic subjecthood, as well as the ways recent immigrants and citizens negotiate complicated feelings of longing, belonging and at-home-ness in their adoptive culture.

Class Description:
There are distinct literary and cultural traditions that at once express and resist the American history of colonialism and racism. This course considers the ways in which imaginative writings, sounds and images shape, confront and counter prevailing poetics and narratives about the self and nation. While there can never been a single voice for the American experience, an idea that is illuminated through a study of American multicultural literature, this course explores a diversity of voices in American literature as well as some historical frameworks for understanding contemporary American life. Through consideration of languages and images that resist racialized identities, and literary and cinematic attempts to rethink racial paradigms in light of new immigrant communities and globalization, this course offers an opportunity to explore what literary and cultural critic Sacvan Bercovitch calls 'the autoAmericanbiography.'

In Introduction to Multicultural Literatures of the United States we will read prose and poetry by American writers of color, ranging from Nobel and Pulitzer prizewinning masters to debut authors. Our books will include THE BRIEF WONDROUS LIFE OF OSCAR WAO by Junot Diaz, THE NAMESAKE by Jhumpa Lahiri, YELLOW FACE by David Henry Hwang, LIFE ON MARS by Tracy K. Smith, and more. As we examine the specific meanings and methods of each work, we will also identify such elements as theme, motif, genre, structure, form, perspective, tone, voice, imagery, and metaphor. ENGL 1301W is a writing intensive class, which means that we will write drafts and revise before turning in final copies of our two formal papers, each five pages long. This four credit class includes a twice-weekly lecture and a once-a-week discussion section.

Representative works by African American, American Indian, Asian American, and Chicano/Chicana writers, chiefly from 20th century. Social/cultural factors informing America's literary past/present.
Class Description:
There are distinct literary and cultural traditions that at once express and resist the American history of colonialism and racism. This course considers the ways in which imaginative writings, sounds and images shape, confront and counter prevailing poetics and narratives about the self and nation. While there can never been a single voice for the American experience, an idea that is illuminated through a study of American multicultural literature, this course explores a diversity of voices in American literature as well as some historical frameworks for understanding contemporary American life. Through consideration of languages and images that resist racialized identities, and literary and cinematic attempts to rethink racial paradigms in light of new immigrant communities and globalization, this course offers an opportunity to explore what literary and cultural critic Sacvan Bercovitch calls 'the autoAmericanbiography.'

Representative works by African American, American Indian, Asian American, and Chicano/Chicana writers, chiefly from 20th century. Social/cultural factors informing America's literary past/present.
Class Description:
This course aims to explore literature by authors who do not belong to the dominant ethnic, racial, cultural groups of the United States. Since the 1920s (and also the 1960s), during the turbulent period of immigrant settlement and indigenous dispossession, ethnic writers have been concerned with defining and creating American identity through their works. By reading and analyzing their works thoroughly, we will investigate questions such as the following: How do immigrants become writers? What do immigrant writers achieve for themselves and their groups by variously participating in national literary and rhetorical traditions? How can dual or multiple cultural identities possibly coexist within themselves and within American culture? How do we define culture, and what is the relation between culture and individual texts? How has literature changed between the period of 1960s militancy and our current age of globalization and diversity? In addition to race, ethnicity, and identity, we will also look into how class, language, gender and sexuality figure into these writers? image of an American self and community.
