Prerequisite: ENGL 111 English Composition I. This course explores the connections between ethnic identity and literature/culture in the United States.

Students will explore themes such as ethnic and racial stereotypes, ethnicity and gender, assimilation versus cultural heritage and memory, translating experiences into a new culture and language, responses to myths about immigration and the “American Dream.”
