The course focuses on the work of selected Native American authors, both poets and fictions writers, with an emphasis on Ethnic Studies, providing students with an overview of Native American life in the United States by critically exploring the social, cultural, political, economic, and life way experience through literature. Students will critically analyze the ways that Native American cultural identities and literature challenge, complicate, and reinvent the languages and literary forms of mainstream American culture, emphasizing Native American survival, sovereignty, and resistance through the oral and written traditions of Native Americans. Since those traditions are participatory, the course will also develop students creative writing skills and their cultural sensitivity.
