Class Details

Indigeneity has been central conceptually, theoretically, culturally, and politically in Latina/o and indigenous literatures. We will examine points of commonality and contention in the ways U.S.-based Latina/o and indigenous writers represent, explore, and employ indigeneity. How have these writers articulated indigeneity as a theoretical concept, cultural signifier, and epistemology? How do conceptions of sovereignty and self-determination shift across these works and the historical contexts from which they emerge? Further, what roles do space, place, and land play in the embodiment of indigeneity in Latina/o and indigenous literatures? Students will read short stories, novels, poetry, and drama by writers such as alurista, Gloria Anzaldúa, Cherríe Moraga, Héctor Tobar, Simon Ortiz, Louise Erdrich, Craig Santos Perez, Alani Apio, and Leslie Marmon Silko.
