Expanded Course Description
This introductory course explores the forms, cultural resonances, aesthetics, and political exigency of Latinx literatures in the United States. From the Chicano Civil Rights Movement to current debates on citizenship, this course examines how Latinx literature from the 20th and 21st centuries addresses what it means to be “Latinx.” Through our examinations of short stories, novels, poetry, and other media, we will develop an understanding of the field of Latinx literature, including key themes of: Latinx literature’s engagements with labor, race, gender, sexuality, citizenship and migration; its reflections on socio-political developments; and its dialogues about identity. Students will complete creative and analytic writing assignments and projects that engage with various course topics.
In addition to being Arts and Letters group-satisfying, this course also fulfills the US: Difference, Inequality, Agency requirement because of its engagement with the changing nature of Chicana/o and Latina/o identities, their connections to histories of labor and migration, and their place in U.S. society.
