Description
This course primarily explores English-language literature by people of East Asian, Southeast Asian, and Pacific Islander descent from the early nineteenth century to the beginning of World War II. Through a selection of novels, memoirs, plays, poems, and other writing, we will consider social issues such as imperialism, decolonization movements, migration, indigeneity, race and racism, gender, sexuality, class, and the environment. For English majors this course satisfies the D-2 requirement. For English minors, this course counts as a 200-level English seminar. This course will be eligible as an elective course in the Asian Studies major.
