ENGL 056 PO - Contemporary Native American Literature

CrsNo ENGL056 PO

When Offered: Spring 2013.

Instructor(s): V. Thomas

In the Native American context, English is the language of holocaust; to write in English necessitates “Reinventing the Enemy’s Language” for purposes of indigenous survival and self-representation. This course engages fiction, essays, poetry, film and critical theory while considering the implications of genocide, political invisibility and experiencing diaspora in one’s homeland.
