Ines Salazar profile

TR 9-10:30

The past two decades have witnessed the emergence of a significant literary movement by U.S. Latinas.  This course will trace the development of this movement and its impact on contemporary modes of literary production and criticism as well as on racial and feminist political discourses.  We will read literature from different genres as well as some very influential pieces of criticism by and about Latina writers.  Among the authors we will read are: Anzaldua, Moraga, Ortiz Cofer, Morales Levins, Viramontes, Vigil, Cervantes, and Villanueva.
