ENG 2155 - Topics in Multicultural Literature

Credits: 4
This course is an intensive thematic study of literature with a multicultural focus. The focus of the course will vary by semester and may be taken for credit multiple times with different foci. Examples of topics include: Passing in America; Slave and Neo-Slave Narratives; Multicultural  Memoirs; and Asian-American Crime Fiction.  While the course varies in its thematic focus, the primary method of study is textual analysis informed by a consideration of the cultural and historic contexts that have traditionally relegated the study of these literatures to the margins.
