LIT 132 — Native American Literature
Emphasizing perceptions and perspectives, this introductory course will examine the construction of Native American identity by exploring the works of different Native American writers and filmmakers. It will carry out its pursuit by engaging with and interrogating the Eurocentric view of the Native Americans and the Native Americans' view of themselves. The course will emphasize the history, style, and content of the literature, situating it in a political, social, and cultural context. Writing assignments, as appropriate to the discipline, are part of the course.
