ENGL 399E ST: Immigrant Writers
This course will examine literary works written by immigrant and ethnic American writers about their experiences as members of ethnic and/or minority groups. Through their writing, we will explore themes of migration and immigration, assimilation, and maintaining ethnic identity in different American communities. We will also look at the relationship between different ethnic traditions--Arab-American, Asian-American, Hispanic, Jewish, European-American--and the larger tradition of American literature and culture.
