ENG 245 - Ethnic American Literature

4 credits
Students will be introduced to a sampling of texts in various U.S. ethnic literary traditions that demonstrate the dynamic nature of each particular tradition. Given that many of these texts are an act of resistance to dominant society’s forms of categorization, we will be exploring some of the histories that have engendered these texts. Relevant topics that may be addressed: migrations, racism, sexism, marginalization, nationalism, colonization, resilience and celebration. Approved for University Studies Explorations - Humanities. Grading option designated on a CRN basis each term. Students should consult current term schedule.
