Course Description

This course examines Native American Literature from the early oral traditions to contemporary poetry and prose through an Ethnic Studies lens. Using literary analysis and critical theory, instructors guide students to consider the relationship between literary form and identity formation. The reading for the course reflects the history and varied experiences of indigenous peoples in the United States, exploring literary traditions that predate contact with Europeans, adapt and resist settler colonialism, and vocalize the political and artistic struggle for self-determination.
