ENG226

This course offers an in-depth study of works by U.S. indigenous writers from the 1960's to the present. The readings cover multiple genres of poetry, drama, memoir, and fiction in various tones of humor, suspense, spirituality, and political urgency. The course will provide opportunities to learn about multiple tribal cultures and histories as well as social issues pertinent to indigenous communities. U.S. indigenous writers also engage with larger critical questions dealing with environmentalism, feminism, colonialism, and social justice, but through a particularly indigenous lens. Students will be encouraged to read and think critically, and to reflect deeply about indigenous frameworks and approaches to important contemporary issues. USIDG, Offered occasionally.
