Francophone America

Catalog description

In this course, we focus on the question of identity: What does it mean to be a part of a Francophone community in the United States? By exploring the culture, history, and literature of Louisiana and New England-as well as the places where we see French influence in Philadelphia and at SJU- students will deepen their appreciation of the richness of Francophone communities in the United States and enhance their understanding of the challenges facing members of a group whose language and heritage sets them apart.
