ENG 240 - Native American Literature

Institution:

Linn-Benton Community College

Subject:

Description:

(3 class hrs/wk, 3 cr) As needed This course features a selection of works by writers from native North American cultures within the United States and Canada. The works of these cultures have traditionally not been well-represented in literature courses, and the views from these tribal cultures are often in contrast to the more familiar representations of mainstream culture. These works reflect historical and cultural incidents of discrimination, warfare, and differences across the society. This course will explore how humans have dealt with survival after defeat in war, relocation, and discrimination and how these cultures enrich the patterns of the North American experience. Prerequisite: College-level reading and writing skills (WR 121) are strongly recommended for success in this course.
