Section Title:
Literatures of the Displaced
Section Info:
Topic: Literatures of the Displaced. Meets with AAS 390 and GWS 395. In this course we will examine an array of literary texts that focus on or intersect with narratives of Latina/o migration. In addition to Latina/o narratives of migration, we will analyze Asian-American, African-American, and Indigenous stories of displacement, (im)migration, and settlement. Through comparative analysis, we will discuss the various intersections between and divergences among these texts, paying particular attention to the shared histories the texts evidence. Our goal is to form interpretive arguments that address the ways in which the texts negotiate ideas about the nation, nation building, and national belonging.
