HUMA 1740 - U.S. Cultural Diversity: Native/African/Latin/Asian American Humanities

4 Credits

This course intends to introduce students to humanities of Native Americans, African Americans, Latin Americans and Asian Americans in the United States in the 20th century, and to look at the relationship between those works and culture and life in the United States in the present. We will look at humanities pieces in a historical and cultural context, pieces almost exclusively created by, for, and about peoples belonging to/identifying with one or more of these groups, including literature, visual art, music, dance, theatre and/or film. We will look especially at works with themes about identity, community, borders, and power. 4C/4/0/0
