This course will introduce the works from the selected nineteenth century to present African‐American, Asian‐American, Native American and Latino/a writers. The readings will cover the major traditional literary genres (autobiography, poetry, short stories, novels and drama) but will also include those non‐traditional cultural modes of collective expressions which are pertinent and influence each groups’ literary tradition (e.g., spirituals, work songs, the blues, jazz, rap, salsa). The theoretical framework will include discussion of relevant cultural, feminist and post‐modern theories. A historical overview of each group and its literary tradition in the U.S. will be provided. This course will be offered in the following modalities: face-to-face, hybrid, and online.
