AFST 30577 - Literature issue de l'immigration

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Africana Studies

Description:

An introduction to the literary productions by African, Caribbean, and Asian immigrants to France. Students will acquire a detailed understanding of the relevant strands of current theoretical thinking, and through a close analysis of the texts themselves, will examine recurrent themes and forms in immigrant literature, including the representation of identity; the concepts of origins; the intersection of race, class, and gender; and the textual strategies underpinning these considerations. Finally, we will examine the different ways in which these authors are redefining French literature with their singular voices and styles. Writers to be studied include Farida Belghoul, Azouz Beggag, Soraya Nini, Calixthe Beyala, Bolya Baenga, Gisele Pineau, and Linda Li. The course will be taught in French.
