World Literature: Advanced ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

This course will concentrate on selected works of fiction and poetry in Latin American, African, Asian and Middle Eastern literatures. Students will explore concepts such as migration; issues of race, class, and gender in cultural context; social and political justice; cultural transition and disorientation; and colonialism and imperialism. Additionally, students will be exposed to methods of literary interpretation and ways to effectively argue their findings in writing. Students taking World Literature at the advanced level will conduct and integrate scholarly research into their analytical assignments. This course was previously titled Global Multicultural Literature: Advanced. Students who have taken Global Multicultural Literature should not take World Literature. Although there are no prerequisites, the student should have a foundational background in writing and literature studies.
