Description:

Skinner After the Wars of Independence (1810-1824) in Spanish America, writers and intellectuals in the new Spanish American nations had to confront the problem of defining and articulating their national identities. In this course we read some of the most important texts (novels, short stories, poetry, and essays) that treat the topic of national identity, with particular focus on gender, race and ethnicity, regionalism, and social class. We also put literary works in their cultural and historical contexts. Prerequisite: Spanish 100 or above, or permission of instructor. Offered every other year.
