EWL 316 Latinx Literature
Latinos are among the most innovative novelists, poets, and playwrights on the contemporary US scene. Creating in an invigorating but often painful, contact zone between mainstream and minority cultures, they register issues of identity, ethnicity bilingualism, and multiculturalism. Their work highlights many of the most important questions in today’s American society, even as it incorporates Latin American cultural, linguistic, and literary modes. The course will examine writers of various Hispanic backgrounds, including Richard Rodriguez, Sandra Cisneros, Oscar Hijuelos, Gloria Anzaldúa, Julia Alvarez, Marjorie Agosin and others.
