ENG 105 - Native American Literature

Institution:

Long Island University-C W Post Campus

Subject:

Description:

This course will examine works by Native Americans from the 1970s to the present. We will look at how writers and artists construct personal and collective identities, how they relate to specific events and general trends in North American history, and how they interact with dominant European-American cultures and other groups. We will also explore what "native" now means and how it coincides with the changing definitions of "nation" and "culture." The class will also look at the changing field of literature in general and how literature and literary study are affected by other media, including film and video, music recording, radio and television, and above all, the internet. The political dimension of the works sometimes seems inescapable, but the results are often unpredictable, well balanced, funny, and remarkably beautiful. Prerequisites of ENG 1 and ENG 2 are required.
