Exile and Immigration in Hispanic Literatures
SPAN 263 SP

Crosslistings:
LAST 241

During the past two centuries, Latin American writers and intellectuals have produced important works while living outside their countries of birth, whether in Latin America, Europe, or in the United States. Recently, particularly in the U.S., a good deal of writing has been produced by "Hispanic" subjects both from the temporary position of exile and from the more stable position of belonging. This course will examine these issues, paying special attention to the ways in which exile, immigration, an d shifting national borders have informed, both as reality and discourse, "Spanish-American" and "Latino" writings.
