The Caribbean cloaks a complex history in a Club Med exterior. While white sands and palm trees proclaim it as the antidote to civilization, Caribbean writers strive to represent a fuller picture of colonialism, slavery, nationalism, and cultural autonomy. This course will examine selected literary texts as part of an ongoing dialogue between its presentation as the world's ultimate resort and its representation as a crossroads of races, cultures, and histories.
Unless preregistered students attend the first class meeting or communicate directly with the instructor prior to the first class, they will be dropped from the class list. NOTE: Students must still submit a completed Drop/Add form to the Registrar's Office.
