Description

This course examines literature produced by Latin American Jewish women writers in the 20th and 21st centuries. It focuses on poetry, novels, short stories and essays. In conjunction with literary analysis, this course considers socio-historical contexts as well as issues of Jewish diaspora, religion, and feminism. While concentrating on Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico as significant sites of the Jewish diaspora, the course gives attention to issues of gender and diasporic identities in Latin America. Writers may include Marjorie Agosín, Lilliana Heker, Ana María Shua, and Clarice Lispector, among others. In addition, relevant films are integrated and analyzed in class.

It can also be used as a general elective for the BA, BBA, or BS degrees.Prerequisite: ENG/CMP 2800 or 2850
