HUM 5219 Diaspora and Becoming: Literature and Diversity in Europe

U.S. culture and literature are rooted in the theory that anyone can become American. Can an Arab Muslim novelist become French? Can a black African become an Irish poet? Are writers such as Anita Desai and Salman Rushdie English, or even British? This course will explore these questions through contemporary literature and criticism.
