    Description
    This course examines the literature of a historically underrepresented ethnic group whose identity and concerns are traditionally ignored or stereotyped by the larger, dominant culture in which it exists. Special emphasis will be placed on the following:(1) the historical and social conditions which fostered the literary production(2) the relation between this literature and the traditional literary and critical canon by which it is ignored or marginalized;(3) the way the very existence of such literature challenges the validity of a traditional canon;(4) the way this literature works to define the cultural and personal identity of members of the ethnic culture;and (4) the ways this literature works to revise the perception of this culture within the dominant culture. Credit in either LIT 46 or 46H but not both
