SPAN263
Exile and Immigration in Hispanic Literatures
SPAN263 SP
Crosslistings: LAST241
Not Currently Offered
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.
