SP TPS GLOBAL: AFRICAN SCI FI

Catalog description

English is a global language: it is used for business and diplomacy as well as to write poetry, novels, and plays throughout the world. In this course we will read works of literature written in English that represent diverse perspectives and literary traditions. Students will gain an in-depth understanding of literary cultures outside of North America and Europe and the way they intersect with colonial history, globalization, and the dynamics of cultural exchange. The changing topic and texts will be chosen by faculty and may cover the literature of Africa, Asia, Latin America, and/or the Caribbean. This course may not be offered annually.
