ENG 3118 - Postcolonial Literature

Credits: 3

Prerequisite(s): ENG 2000 or ENG 2100 or permission of instructor

Description: This course introduces students to selected literatures from formerly colonized countries. With reference to critical theories of postcolonialism, students examine texts that represent the complex social, political, linguistic, economic, and cultural dynamics that exist or have existed between colonized regions and colonizing powers. As students master the vocabulary of postcolonial studies, using this critical framework will develop their critical and interpretive skills as readers of world literature.
