ENGLISH 196 - Literature of Migration and Ethnicity: The Case of the United States

Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

How have migration and ethnicity been imagined and represented? And how have aesthetic representations of melting pot or multiculturalism affected laws governing migration, the real lives of migrants and indigenous populations, and the changing self-conception of the United States? Such questions, complemented by ethnic theory, inform discussions of books ranging from The Life Stories of Undistinguished Americans and Israel Zangwill's The Melting-Pot to contemporary literature.
