Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences
Focusing on works by Hispanic authors written in and about the territory we know today as the US, we will read works by travelers, colonists, immigrants and exiles who explore themes of language and identity--belonging and difference--and examine cultural and spacial borderlands. Readings will span the colonial to modern periods, including representative texts in chronicle, fiction, essay, poetry, music and film. Conducted in Spanish and satisfies the Pre-1900 Latin American distribution requirement for HS Majors.
