ENG 231 - Latinx Literature Studies

▲ = Fulfills a General Education Requirement
This literature course explores Afro-Latinx, Indigenous, and Latinx populations of the Americas and their experiences in the U.S. through fiction, poetry, and other texts. Latinx is the gender-neutral alternative to Latino and Latina and is inclusive of people who identify as trans, queer, agender, non-binary, gender non-conforming or gender fluid. The course allows students to explore the multiplicity of cultures and societies of Latinx-America in ways that acknowledge the permeability, or absence, of borders. The course will improve knowledge of Latinx global politics, cultures, and nations as theorized, imagined, and practiced through Latinx Literature and Critical Theory.
