    Description
    This course surveys the variety of writings that constitute American Indian literature. Discussion, lectures, and presentations will cover the significance of the cultural context of various societies as well as the way American Indian literature and our perceptions have changed as a result of historical, political, and literary movements. This course examines American Indian poetry, fiction, essays, and theories through the lens of critical ethnic studies and anti-racist issues, practices, and movements as both expressions and interrogations of Indian and tribal identity and culture and as strategies for survival in both the past and present within the larger American context. *Cross-listed as LIT-240 .
