Academic Year 2004/2005
Exile and Immigration in Latino and Hispanic Literatures
SPAN 263 SP
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, and shifting national borders have informed, both as reality and discourse, "Spanish-American" and "Latino" writings.
