ENG 375 - Contemporary Latin American Literature

3 CR

This course will provide a survey of Latin American literature of the 20th century and beyond, with particular attention to the relationship between literature and social change. Topics include relations between literature and the state, issues of national identity, race, class and gender; and concerns about historical representations and political memory. We will discuss a variety of styles, such as magic realism, testimonio, and creative nonfiction which cross traditional boundaries and experiment with language. Students will read short stories, poetry, creative nonfiction and novels.

Prerequisite(s): ENG 102W  or permission of the instructor.
