LAS 3250 Literature Across the Americas

This course is a comprehensive exploration of the literatures of North America, the Caribbean, Central America, and South America beginning with the first literatures recording contact through the present. The course is primarily comparative in nature situating literary texts in specific cultural and political contexts, and includes the study of texts produced in various parts of the Americas in relation to one another, as well as in relation to global issues and texts.
This course will facilitate students’ identification of cross-cultural and literary relations that influence the production of similar or contradictory narratives that inform the complex cultural history of the region. An interdisciplinary focus will enable students to utilize concepts and perspectives from other disciplines in order to make new connections in the study of literatures of the Americas.
