LIT 233 This is America: Stories of Promise, Power, and Protest

3 hours 

This country began as a story told by a select few, depicting a beacon of hope promising freedom and equality. Since then, the story has become one of freedom but also force, power and its abuses, diversity preceded and sustained by division. This course explores literary works that tell the complicated story of America, from its highest principles to its harshest truths, with a particular focus on voices too often excluded from the conversation.
