EN 246 Introduction to Asian American Literature (Fall: 3)
Satisfies Cultural Diversity Core Requirement
This course is a broad introduction to Asian American literature, criticism,
and culture. This means that we will read at least one book-length work
from each of the following ethnic groups: Filipino, Japanese, Chinese,Korean,
South Asian, and Vietnamese. Together, the readings provide us with an opportunity
to reflect on the long sweep of Asians in America struggling togive expression
to their experiences. Discussion will often touch on many sensitive topics,
so I wish to emphasize the importance of keeping an open mind, being respectful
of others' opinions, and keeping up with the reading.
