The main objective of this course is to bring together authors from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds and address the question of the ideology that sustains their writing. Each work provides the basis for discussion on gender, race, and class. Many writers are less interested in singling out male/female polarities than in exploring their subjectivity. Others are concerned with political oppression. A number of them seek to expose and undermine the established social roles of women. Readings are selected from various types of literary genres: novel, short fiction, epistolary writing, testimonial writing, poetry, autobiography, drama, and essay. Authors vary by semester, and may include: Sor Juana, Gómez de Avellaneda, Allende, Castellanos, Cisneros, Gambaro, Menchú, Prida, Valenzuela, and Vega. Prerequisite: any Main Currents course. Staff/ Three credits
