SPAN 1406 - U.S. LATINO LITERATURE

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course will focus on U.S. Latino literature. While Mexican-Americans have roots in North America that go back to colonial times, the Latino explosion has happened mainly in the last thirty years, giving rise to new processes and forms of cultural expression, including an emerging literature that is neither a subset of U.S. Literature nor an ex tension of modern Latin American literature, though it has connections to both. To get an idea of what this literature involves and where it is going, we will look at some representative novels, poetry, memoirs, plays and films.
