Native Land, Literatures, and Identities (Identical to English 67, pending approval)
07S: 10A
This course will address various issues of particular importance to indigenous communities reflected in twentieth-century creative works. We will examine Native conceptions of space and settler-colonialism's organizing of space by learning to read Native texts. The relationship between race, gender, and nation will be explicated through examination of films, visual work, short stories, poems, and novels. Important to this class is an open and thoughtful discussion about the active struggle for decolonization and healing that takes place in Native communities.
Open to Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. Dist: LIT; WCult: NW. Goeman
