Indigenous Literatures

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This course will undertake a comparative analysis of modern Native American Literature. Through multi-work studies of authors, interrogations within and across genre, and analysis of cultural, thematic, and literary modalities, this course will help students better understand the significance of Native American Literature for not only Native peoples and communities, but for the broader landscape of literature. This course encourages and relies upon engaged discussion, and will build towards a large term paper through layered writing assignments that build an analytical profile of authors, genres, and thematic elements.
