This course provides an overview of Indigenous American literature through the lens of ethnic studies theories such as resistance, self-affirmation, and agency. Students will explore, describe, and analyze a diverse range of literary texts from various genres and historical periods. The Indigenous American experience as expressed through literature will be contrasted with at least one other group such as African American, Asian American, and Latinx/Chicano, with a particular focus on how the groups express resistance, social justice, and liberation on contemporary issues.
