LAS 263 - Voices of the Silent Ones: Literary Protests in America

3 hours
This course will explore various literary texts dealing with the issues and problems facing minorities in their respective societies. During much of the 20th century, minority literature expressed the pain, injustice, and mental anguish of those individuals who are judged on race and gender before character and disposition. Readings will include works of African-American, Hispanic, and Native American writers and will ultimately explore the ways that literature confronts issues of identity and allows us to re-envision our definitions of ourselves and our communities.

This course will satisfy the core requirement in multicultural studies.
