This course serves as an introductory exploration of writings by Latinx authors in the United States, highlighting the shared and distinct experiences among various Latinx communities. We will concentrate on literary production of the four major U.S. Latinx groups: Mexican Americans (Chicanos), Puerto Ricans (Nuyoricans), Dominican Americans, and Cuban Americans, spanning the 20th and 21st centuries. Through critical examination of fiction and poetry, the course delves into key themes and issues that shape the cultural expression of these communities. Discussion topics will include identity formation and negotiation regarding language, race, gender, sexuality, and class; the colonial subject; diaspora; and emigration, among other relevant subjects.
