Course description
Memoirs--non-fictional life stories--offer an intriguing lens into the past. Memoirs vividly portray a person's experiences, but they also raise questions about the reliability of the narrator. What kinds of histories are memoirs? We will read memoirs about experiences of race, class, gender in America. Students write their own short memoir.
