Prerequisite: ENGL 102 or 103H This course is designed to offer students a survey of the literature of the American South from the colonial period through the late twentieth century. The main focus will be to provide a general picture of Southern Literature - some of its major themes and writers, as well as its construction as a scholarly field of study. The class will read primarily short stories and novels, but also some poetry, drama, and critical essays, and will examine literature as a reflection of southern culture during that period, attempting to reconstruct the historical and social context(s) in which these works were produced. This course will also examine issues of gender, class, race, and region, as well as aesthetic and thematic techniques.

Prerequisite: ENGL 102 or 103H This course is designed to introduce students to the major works of Asian American writers, including the Eaton Sisters, Carlos Bulosan, Maxine Hong Kingston, Amy Tan, Hisaye Yamamoto, Bharati Mukherjee, John Okada, Li-Young Lee, and David Hwang. The course will pay particular attention to Asian American diasporic cultures and identity crises in Asian American communities. Issues for discussion: immigrant legacy, Asian American relations to the values and mores of the homeland or Confucian cultures, Asian American stereotypes, the "model minority"myth, family and community, and images of Asian American masculinity and femininity. We will also examine how Asian American writers over generations of assimilation, cultural, racial, and generational conflict have conveyed unique ethnic experiences that have enriched, and even changed, our understanding of the reality of modern American life.

Prerequisite: ENGL 102 or ENGL 103H A study of representations of women will focus on transnational and multicultural literature by both male and female writers, with particular attention to the relationship between the traditional roles of women, female stereotypes, and the dilemmas women and women writers have encountered in search of their own identities and places. By juxtaposing male ideas of woman with women's struggles as individual selves, students will examine how a traditionally male-centered and masculinist culture and literature could be re-envisioned.
