Introduction to Asian American Literature and Culture

"This survey course introduces students to representative Asian American literary and cultural productions including fiction, poetry, drama, and autobiography by writers across generations. Diverse as these writers are in style and ethnicity, their works, depicting the Asian experience as immigrants and minorities in North America, echo each other. We will analyze thematic and formal elements such as immigration, cultural assimilation, gender characterization, racial relocation and identity displacement in order to establish an intertextual and coherent understanding of this literary tradition."SATISFIES FLEXIBLE CORE- US EXPERIENCE IN ITS DIVERSITY
