Description: This course considers 20th/21st century American literature on the experiences of immigrant populations. Limning this literary history from early narratives of alienation and assimilation to contemporary fiction’s negotiations of identity within a global context, we will examine not only how these texts resemble and depart from one another, but how they have shaped the broader literary tradition.
