ENGL 180M - Asian American Literature

Institution:

California State University-Sacramento

Subject:

Description:

Designed to help students gain an understanding of the diversity as well as the similarities among various Asian American writers. How do the categories of race, gender, and class affect the way different characters construct their cultural experiences and fashion their personal identities? By studying the variety of processes through which different protagonists "become American"--through assimilation, appropriation, or "translation"--students should arrive at a better understanding of how we all construct our own identities.
