Description
This course introduces students to both canonical and non-canonical works by Asian/North American authors written in English (or translated to English). The similarities and differences in historical experiences and literary expressions of Asian/Canadians, Asian/Americans/ and Mexican/Asians may be addressed. Students explore themes including language, intergenerational conflict and trauma, migration, colonialism, colourism, and cultural nationalism through a variety of genres. The course may focus on a specific ethnic or racial community or it may be offered as a pan-Asian/North American survey.
