Course Description:
In this course, we will read BIPOC writers who explore how the places people inhabit, physical and psychological, real and imagined, shape their identity and experiences. Specifically, we will pay attention to how a range of writers convey the complications of belonging, and the ways power can be used to exclude and harm or heighten the visibility of the maligned and forgotten. Our reading list will call us to bear witness to timely and urgent events and consider how spaces can be contested and reimagined through literature. |
