EN 322 - Caribbean Literature

The course focuses on contemporary literary texts from the English-speaking islands of the Caribbean. However, begins with a historical tour of the Caribbean (the tour will include lectures, documentary, film, and other audio/visual media) to get a feel for the historical and cultural contexts of the texts. The readings for the course will include contemporary fiction, essays, and poetry, to explore the writers’ representation of post-colonial themes such as marginality and poverty, self-definition, as well as issues of gender, class, race and ethnicity.
