20th Century Writing by Women of Color

3 credits · Undergraduate credit

In this class we explore the narrative practices of Latinas, African American, Native American, and Asian American women, paying special attention to the way in which their writing has given voice to their experiences as women of color. Over the course of the semester we consider the cultural, linguistic, and familial traditions that have informed their respective approaches to feminism, antiracism, and oppositional politics.
