0504-494 - Pan-Indian Native American Literature

Institution:

Rochester Institute of Technology

Subject:

Description:

This course examines Native American literature from the end of the Indian Wars, as demarcated by the massacre at Wounded Knee, through the relocation and termination eras to just before the native American renaissance. During these years, we witness the emergence of a pan-Indian identity that results in part from colonial policies, such as boarding schools, and results in intertribal political coalitions, such as the Society for American Indians. This course focuses upon the literatures generated from this shift in native consciousness and asks students to consider issues of identity formation. Part of the literary and cultural studies concentration and minor and may also be taken as an elective. (0502-227 or equivalent) Class 4, Credit 4 (offered occasionally)
