ENG 245 International Literature

This course looks beyond the traditional British and American texts that have populated English studies to challenge the once elite dominance of English as the authorized language of "first-world" mastery. The concept of "literatures in English" speaks, therefore, to an evolving international dialogue that is sensitive to the formation of personal and political identities in a new global economy. Texts represent diverse national regions such as the Caribbean, Africa, India, Canada and Australia. [H, GM1, GM2]
