Other classes by Enrique E Lima

This course is a survey of the literatures of Central American nations from contact to the present day. Born of out of violence the conquest, Central American republics have dealt with economic exploitation and political oppression. But Central Americans have also produced revolutionary ideas, radical art, and have shown determination and resilience in their desire for liberation. This class will explore the literary traditions of the region and of its diaspora in the United States and elsewhere. Books read in the class will come from various forms and periods. Expect to read poetry, short stories, novels, memoirs, testimonio, and journalism.
