LIT 46 ETHNICITY IN LITERATURE OF THE UNITED STATES3 Units - 3 hours lecture
Transfers: CSU, UC
This course examines the literature of a historically underrepresented ethnic group whose identity and concerns are traditionally ignored or stereotyped by the larger, dominant culture in which it exists. Special emphasis will be placed on the following: (1) the historical and social conditions which fostered the literary production (2) the relation between this literature and the traditional literary and critical canon by which it is ignored or marginalized; (3) the way the very existence of such literature challenges the validity of a traditional canon; (4) the way this literature works to define the cultural and personal identity of members of the ethnic culture; and (4) the ways this literature works to revise the perception of this culture within the dominant culture.
