ENGL 223 — Chicana/Chicano Literature
Drawing on a variety of genres, this course surveys literature that documents, creates and responds to emerging and historical Chicano/a identities, with readings reflective of literary, intellectual and cultural contributions as well as lived experience; including social struggle and activism in the service of social and racial justice. From Mesoamerican origins to contemporary periods, works will be analyzed as literary artifacts within artistic, socioeconomic, political, ethical, and historical contexts.
