LITR249

In this course students will encounter a range of voices, genres, and forms encompassing works which peer into the lives of the marginalized, disenfranchised, colonized, alienated, and displaced peoples the world over. Critical to this course is an interrogation of the ethical and moral implications of the inequitable distribution of power over time, place and space. With instruction undergirded with the lens of Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of The United States, in this course students will become conversant with both emerging and persisting questions around culture, nation, and collective and individual identity.
