Spanish

Concentrating on the past as both the subject of fiction and as a source of inscribing fiction, the course traces the ways in which writers self-consciously participate in the construction of a Latin-American canon. Issues surrounding colonization and independence, mestizaje and melting pot, domination and selfdetermination, and the ambivalence of history in a "new" world is addressed.
