LAS 256 - The Hyphenated American: Images of Immigrant Americans
This course will explore, through film and literature, images of immigrant life in America as presented by different ethnic groups. We will discuss the transitions that are necessary as new immigrant groups arrive in the United States. How do such groups try to integrate themselves into and also distance themselves from the American “mainstream?” We will explore the difficulty of maintaining ties to immigrant culture while at the same time finding a place in society. (3 hours)
This seminar will satisfy the literature core area requirement.
