AMIN 3660 - American Indian Novel (HUMANITIES, CDIVERSITY)
Credits: 3.0 [max 3.0]
Grading Basis: A-F or Aud
Typically offered: Periodic Spring
In this course, we will sample the rich and diverse body of novels by American Indian writers and examine the historical and cultural contexts that those works both emerge from and comment on. In addition, students will learn to identify and articulate recurring themes such as connection to land, resistance to colonialism, identity, and sovereignty. Finally, we will consider the various ways in which the novels position and envision the past, present, and future.
