Please join Latitudes for a group discussion of two important works of literary criticism: Edward Said's canonical Culture and Imperialism and Hosam Aboul-Ela's recently published Domestications: American Empire, Literary Culture, and the Postcolonial Lens, which uses Said's text as a model to explore U.S. imperialism. Email David Buchanan (dbuchan@sas.upenn.edu), Liandra Sy (lsy@sas.upenn.edu), or Ann Ho (annlho@sas.upenn.edu) to request a copy of the excerpts we will discuss.
