Contemporary Latin American Fiction

This course examines significant Latin American novels and short stories. While concentrating on literary themes and narrative techniques, this course aims to provide students with a better understanding of contemporary Latin American societies. Issues of feminism, gender, sexuality, and race, as well as political expressions, are central to the class discussions. Critical essays dealing with those issues, as well as videos and films, are integrated into the course work. This course is equivalent to HSP 3058. Students will receive credit for either HSP 3058 or CMP 3058. These courses may not substitute for each other in the F grade replacement policy.
