Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

Latino fiction of the past 15 years has come a long way from civil rights conversations and autobiographical narratives of growing up as "the other." Latinos in the United States are employing innovative textual and linguistic strategies to imagine and define a new place for themselves in U.S. society and in the Americas. Textual narratives from authors Hector Tobar, Alfredo Vea, Julia Alvarez, Junot Diaz, Achy Obejas, Coco Fusco, José Rivera, Erika Lopez, Dagoberto Gilb, Demetria Martínez, Salvador Plascencia, et al, will assist us in understanding this new positioning, in tandem with visual narratives from youtube, film, and performance art. For English majors, this course satisfies the requirement of a course emphasizing literature written after 180 1.00 units, Lecture
