Subject:

Description:

Analysis of literary works from the Caribbean representing various periods, areas, and groups. Focus mainly on English-speaking Caribbean, but occasional focus on Spanish, Dutch, or French works in translation. Prerequisite(s): English 103 with a grade of C or better or exemption. General Education Requirement: (FSLT) Unit(s): 1 Additional Information: This course is designed to introduce students to a body of literature from the Caribbean. Using a variety of interpretive frameworks, we do close, critical readings of selected writings representing varied periods, areas, and groups. Specific emphasis may change from term to term; the focus is generally on the English-speaking Caribbean, but works in translation from the Spanish-, Dutch-, and French-speaking islands may be included from time to time. We consider the process by which Caribbean texts have been created and received, the historical and cultural contexts in which they have developed, and their relationship to each other and to other bodies of American, European, and world literature.
