Course Catalog Description:
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:

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.
