Literatures of Exile and Migration

1.00 credits · Undergraduate

Recent years have seen the largest movement of people from their homeland since WWII. We live in an era of increased mobility with national borders alternately porous and reinforced as nations welcome new refugees and immigrants or strive to keep them out. In this course, students read both fiction and nonfiction narratives about the experiences of exile and migration, and the possibilities and anxieties brought by the global movement of populations.
