Description of Class: Chicano 7 - Chicano Literature
This class is a broad survery of contemporary Chicano/a literature. Through an analysis of poetry, novels, short stories, essays, and arts of the Chicano community, this course will help students gian a deeper understanding of the experiences of Mexican-Americans in this country.
Because this is a study of literature, there will be a major focus placed on writing, and the development and study of voice. The study of Chicano literature not only is about looking at previously silenced voices in the American canon of literature, but of the development of a literacy that is critical and concise.
