Description
The riches of contemporary immigration literature permit us to address difficult questions of the politics and poetics of language, culture, and self. Discussion will highlight the impact of geographical and linguistic dislocation; complexities of bi-cultural identity; and reassessments of trans/national cultural borders. The texts covered in this reading-intensive seminar include novels by Tomás Rivera, Jamaica Kincaid and Chang-Rae Lee; short stories by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Natalie L. M. Petesch; plays by Martyna Majok and David Henry Hwang; and a selection of poems by Rodolfo Anaya, Gloria Anzaldúa, Czeslaw Milosz, and Simon J. Ortiz.
