SPAN 404 Readings in Chicana/o Literature and Culture



This course examines the major literary works and themes throughout the development of the cultural experience formed from the conflict and confluence of U.S. American and Spanish American cultures - U.S. Latino culture. As such, it covers the major literary genres in U.S. Latino/a literature: the essay, epic poetry, lyric poetry, the short story, novel and drama, as well as folk literature. Issues of ethnicity, gender, race and sexual orientation will be analyzed at length from a critical thinking perspective in order to gain an insight into the role of this literature as part of the United States’ multicultural literary canon.
