Section Information for Summer 2020
Course Description
Migration across borders, either by choice or necessity – or some mixture of the two – has become a common global experience. In this course, we will read some of the literature in fiction and nonfiction that has sought to capture the experience of migration and diaspora. We will read short stories that describe the Haitian diaspora in the US, a novel about South Asian migration in the US after 9/11, and nonfiction about Mexican migration into the US. This course introduces students to reading texts in terms of their cultural contexts as well as their formal innovations and how literary forms respond to social concerns and experiences. In addition, English 202 will help develop skills of interpretation, analysis, and communication through the close analysis of imaginative texts.
