CHST 185C CH - Voices of the Tropics: Latina Literature of the CaribbeanThis course offers a solid introduction to Caribbean-origin Latina literature. Our engagement with literary renderings of the Latina experience will be informed by a recurrent emphasis on representations of history and issues of gender, terms that can be understood culturally, historically, economically, racially, and geographically. Writers seeking to reflect and inform the US immigrant experience have seized on the expressive and critical power of memoir, bildungsroman, historical fiction, and revolution narratives. Reading the literature of Latinas of Cuban, Dominican, Haitian, and Puerto Rican origin will show us how immigration and circular migration inform issues of gender, sexuality, maternity, and reproduction.
