We will combine an engaging and diverse selection of renowned and new Chicana/o authors with discussion-based class periods, writing exercises, and learning activities to gain a greater understanding of the social locations and political perspectives of the authors. Students will be encouraged to place these works in their cultural and historical context. This exploration should enable students to better appreciate these vibrant contributions to American and world literatures.
