This course will survey "colonial" and "postcolonial" literature from Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Asia, Africa and the Caribbean, with an emphasis on modern fiction. Works will be studied within their historical and cultural contexts, and students will discuss issues like canon formation, generic conventions, language choices, ethnic and first nations identifications, and competing definitions of "postcolonial".
Prerequisite: Any two of ENGL 110, 111, or 121 in addition to third-year standing.
