About this course

Latinx authors have been publishing literature in the U.S. since the 1820s and are a critical part of American literature. This class will survey this literature and analyze how Latinx authors depict the historical and ongoing processes of colonialism and imperialism that impact Latinx communities and how they reimagine justice. Students will examine how gender, race, sexuality, class, citizenship, bilingualism, and able-bodiedness shape Latinx identities and experiences in the U.S.
