Title: Seminar in English Lit
Course Section Number: ENG-497-01
Department: English
Description: IMMIGRATION AND EXILE IN GLOBAL LITERATURES How do writers, poets, playwrights, and filmmakers imagine the global migration of people in the 20th and 21st centuries? How do they respond to economically-motivated migration, political exile, eco-migration (caused by global warming and climate change), and other forms of resettlement? We will read texts that investigate problems faced by immigrant communities (e.g. racism, xenophobia, abuse of power by institutions, immigrant detention camps, separation of refugee families, etc), problems within the immigrant communities, and issues raised by anti-immigrant movements and legislation.
