The intent of this course is to use literature, fiction, the novel, poetry, performance, music, and art as vehicles to reading and analyzing how Caribbean women write and speak culture, resistance, identity, and politics. Selected readings will demonstrate how these wide ranges of writings can be a powerful means of communication for education, influence, resistance, and protest. Analysis will focus both on the Caribbean and on the Transnational. Selected works will be drawn from women in the Caribbean Diaspora, Anglophone, Francophone, and Latin America.
Open to Seniors, Juniors & Sophomores only.
