DPE Notes: This course offers students an opportunity to read some major works of fiction that have challenged the ¿canon¿ of European and American literature. Through the readings, class members will understand that great literature comes not only from London or Paris, from the U.S. or Russia. Several of these novels, moreover, directly challenge European and Western cultural hegemony and make an implicit claim for the legitimacy of Latin American cultural concerns.
