This course offers an introduction to contemporary global literatures in English. Reading across borders and continents, we will engage literary works by writers from Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean, as well as U.S. writers of color, to explore the braided themes of race, migration and identity. Through readings of a variety of literary forms and genres (including novels, essays, short stories, and film) students will hone their skills in close textual analysis and interpretation. Throughout our study, we will consider how contemporary debates on migration, belonging, and racial justice are informed by longer histories of British and U.S. imperialism.
