ENGL 3345

Moving to new and unfamiliar places changes our identities, our traditions, and our connections to our communities. It forces us to seek out new forms of belonging even as we remain attached to what we, our parents, or our ancestors left behind. In this course, we will read diasporic literature or literature that contends with migration and separation from one’s homeland. We will consider literature that responds to the political, socio-cultural, and personal consequences of no longer being “at home.”
