Part of Term 1
Aug 26-Dec 11
Jewish American and US Minority Literatures in Dialogue

Credit: 3 hours.

Using a combination of careful reading with historical contextualization we will discuss how the field of Jewish American literature emerged, and get a sense of where it might be heading. We will address topics such as what makes a literary work Jewish American other than the Jewishness of its author; in what ways the field of Jewish American literature has changed over time; and what might be the underlying trends/themes of this field of literature.

Same as CWL 209 and ENGL 222.

This course satisfies the General Education Criteria in Fall 2022 for:

Humanities – Lit & Arts
Cultural Studies - US Minority
