ENGL 325 - Global Literature: Modern

3 Hour(s)

This course will analyze literature by women from the non-Western world through a critical lens of race and gender in order to interrogate indigenous constructions of identity. Drawing on contemporary women’s literature from different parts of the globe, the course will examine the complex connections between gender and culture. The course is designed to provide a foundational understanding of the historical, political, social, and cultural conditions that influenced the development and production of the literature under examination. The novels in the course will depict the impact of colonial history on literature, resistance, and post-colonialism.
