学習目標
America is a “salad bowl” of different cultures and races. American writers have tried to depict and solve the racial and cultural conflict in their works. We will first read how the white writers addressed the problem and then how the problem looked from the “other” side, among African Americans and other non-white races. The final objective is to revise our own perspective of American culture.
授業概要
Lectures will be given to analyze closely each text. Class discussions will follow. A reading test will be given at the start of studying each work to check on how well you have read it. The final exam will be an essay exam on one question.
