ENGL 1401W - Legacies of Colonialism: Literatures in English of the Global South (4 Cr.) Global Perspectives, Literature, Writing Intensive
English Language & Literature (10961)
TCLA - College of Liberal Arts
Course description
This writing-intensive course will introduce you to literature of geographical locations such as Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean with the aim of examining the global impacts of colonialism, particularly for formerly colonized nations. Through close readings of our texts, you will explore the ways writers have engaged with conditions of and experiences with imperialism, global capitalism, nationalism, and displacement. What role does literature play in upholding, resisting, and/or interrogating the legacies of colonial projects? How do these texts construct and respond to these legacies as entangled with concerns of their contemporary moment, such as shifting geopolitical relations? As we think about and discuss such questions, you will be supported with instruction on reading strategies, techniques for writing a paper, and relevant critical approaches.
