<p>Seminar, four hours. Exploration of evolution of postcolonial studies through contemporary works of multiethnic American literature. How do our primary texts of fiction or creative nonfiction question literary conventions of allegedly mainstream Euro-American literature? What manifestations of empire, diasporic mobility, and generic mutability unite or separate creative works in question? What meditations on identity and intersectionality do our creative and critical texts offer as they intersect notions of race, class, gender, sexual identity, ethnicity, nationality, and migration? What aesthetic or critical possibilities does multiethnic American storytelling open up for future of postcolonial and transnational studies? P/NP or letter grading.</p>
