ENGL 0218 - Postcolonial Literature and Theory


Credits: 3

This course will serve as an introduction to postcolonial literature and theory and critical race theory. Students will examine literature through the lens of postcolonial and critical race theories, reading in tandem both imaginative literature and secondary scholarship. The course readings will consist of literatures of the Global South (including Asia, Africa, South America, the Caribbean, etc.) and of minority and indigenous writing in the U.S. Students will engage with key critical concepts that may include: diaspora, decolonization, globalization, racial difference, black radical feminism, and intersectionality.

Prerequisites: ENGL 0204
