Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

English

Description:

This course will focus on several prominent contemporary Latino/a poets and fiction writers whose work has enriched and diversified American literature in the last 20 years. Among them are such established and acclaimed authors as Gary Soto, Lorna Dee Cervantes, Pat Mora, Martín Espada, Victor Hernández Cruz, Helena Viramontes, and Cristina García. Because Latinos are not homogenous, emphasis will be given to these writers' diverse ethnic and cultural origins.
