ENGL 3065 Multi-Ethnic Lit of California
Examining the oral traditions and writings starting with the indigenous peoples of the North American west coast (pre-Columbian, Native American song and chant) and ending with the diversity of races and cultures of present day California (20th century Ethnic American poems and prose), the Literatures of the many Californias – indigenous, Spanish, Californio, Mexican, and American – are read and analyzed in their social, cultural, economic, and historical contexts.
