- Class Description:
- In this multi-genre workshop, we'll read works that narrate migration to and within the United States. We'll analyze fiction that describes the immigrant experience in America as well as memoir and oral histories that challenge traditional narratives around immigration. We'll discuss the ways in which literature can not just relate, but influence history: what poetry from the 20th century Harlem barrio might have in common with short stories set on the Great Plains, how an oral history of life on the contemporary US-Mexican border might relate to a novel set in 19th century Chicago. Students will write short fiction as well as critical essays examining the historical continuities between literature and today's present moment. They will learn literary research techniques, workshop each others' creative works, lead class discussions, and attend site visits to the Immigration History Research Center.
