Border Literatures
This course will survey a range of contemporary fiction that crosses national, cultural, social, political and personal borders. The study of border literatures will vary, and may include Hispanic-American writers, the Caribbean poet, Derek Walcott, and other literatures that move between disparate locations (England, India, Africa, Burma, etc.).
Outcomes: Students will be able to demonstrate familiarity with contemporary theoretical approaches, and to analyze texts that demonstrate how personal, cultural, and political identities develop in transnational contexts.
