Yuri Stulov

PULS

The course will explore representations of race, class and gender in US literature in the works of US ethnic writers. They are closely connected with questions identity, identification and self-identification that are discussed in the context of racial, gender ethnic and class stereotypes. The literature of major US ethnic groups (African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, Jewish American, Americans of Slavic descent and Asian Americans) will be studied to explore the issues of American diversity in light of American values. The problem of canon and canon formation will be addressed to understand how cultural, political, and historical forces influence the process of canonization of works of literature.
