Description:

1. TBA 6971 TuTh 2:00-3:15 Cisterna TBA 6971 Th 1:00 Cisterna This course will study novels and short stories by members of the Latin American diasporas. Additional class materials include film, historical essays, and autobiography. The readings will represent Cuban, Argentinean, Uruguayan and Chilean exile due to repressive dictatorships of the 1970s. We will study how these narratives incorporate the issues of belonging and estrangement within the general theme of exile. The course will help students develop specific knowledge sets, skills, and attitudes that will broaden their learning experience in the university and beyond, especially through greater clarity about the immigrant experience in the US and abroad.
