講義概要/Course description
Course Title: Multicultural America through Literature

The United States is a nation of immigrants. Except for indigenous people, all Americans descended from immigrants or are immigrants themselves. In this sense, all American literature is world literature, and studying American literature provides a window onto the world.

To understand the United States, we need to understand the countless stories of immigration from five other continents. In this course, we will take an interdisciplinary approach to understanding a few particularly wonderful stories imaginatively captured by talented writers. By reading a wide variety of short stories, and engaging with their historical and social contexts, we will collectively build a more complete and more nuanced understanding of some central questions: Who are these people we now call "Americans"? Where did they come from? How has the U.S. changed them, and how have they changed the U.S.? How do their individual stories tell us who they are as individuals, as families, and as communities, and how do they together constitute America?
達成目標/Course objectives

• Articulate several major themes in ethnic American literatures;
