Latinx Literature Now

3 Credits.

A graduate seminar that focuses on texts by contemporary U.S. Latinx writers published after 2015, as well as works of scholarship and criticism in Latinx literary and cultural studies. Students will familiarize themselves with a body of work from the largest (and still growing) cultural "minority" in the U.S. to interrogate the major themes of this course––"Latinx," "minority," and "now"––as well as reflect on how national, comparative, and "minority" texts mutually interact and inter-implicate one another.
