2017-18 Academic Catalog

We will focus on twenty-first century narratives written by Latin American authors, but in which the story or part of the story takes place in the U.S. We will examine the cross-cultural implications of these stories, the depiction of the U.S. from a Latin American or Latino perspective, the themes of border fiction, globalization, and immigration. Authors that may be included: Isabel Allende, Laura Restrepo, Valeria Luiselli, Yuri Herrera, Alberto Fuguet, Edmundo Paz Soldán. Taught in translation.
