Subject:

Humanities

Description:

Critically examines a variety of poetry, fiction, short stories and essays produced by U.S. Latino/a writers and artists. Analysis of films and newspaper clippings related to the Latino experience will be discussed. Texts examined will be approached not as isolated words on a page, but as part of a living culture with a rich historical context. Interdisciplinary in nature, combining literature with history and cultural studies, but also comparative, since the diversity of cultures will be explored under the rubric of Latino, which includes Chicanos, Puerto Ricans, Cubans and Dominicans, among others. Knowledge of Spanish not necessary.
