Course Details

This course will survey a range of contemporary fiction that crosses national, cultural, social, political and personal borders. The study of border literatures from within this period will vary, and may include various writers in literature that move between disparate locations (England, the Americas, 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.
