ENG 401 - Ethnic American Literature


3 Credit Hour(s)

Much of the work of writers from various ethnic groups, whether Asian American, Native American, Latino, African American or others, grapples with issues of identity, either of the individual or of the social and political identities within society. Students will read from multiple ethnicities to examine how these writers have come to define their sense of “self” and how they distinguish between the many communities to which we all belong and the effects these memberships have on our lives.
