AI 278 - Literature of Incarceration

Institution:

DePaul University

Subject:

Description:

The U.S. incarcerates well over 2 million people. Proportionally, no other democratic country in the world comes close to this level. Locked away, out of sight and hearing from most of us, this population of women and men is represented by the media in lurid, predatory images. The writing that has emerged from prisoners paints an altogether different picture, however. In this class, we will study several literary texts--short stories, essays, poems--written by women and men who have been or are currently incarcerated. The class will be offered for one competence only and will meet the first five weeks of the quarter. BA-1999 Competencies offered: A5, H4, ale. Faculty: Ann Folwell Stanford.
