| ENG 272B explores selected works of multiethnic literatures of Hawai'i focusing on the interaction between and among cultures as reflected in literature from the 20th century to the present, dealing with such themes as cultural knowledge and values, identity, place, responses to change - assimilation and alienation - and postcolonial perspectives and the revival of Native Hawaiian culture. Course work includes critical thinking skills related to interpreting the significance of the action, characters, themes, and literary devices used by the author. Emphasis is placed on writing, both as a way of discovering ideas and as a way of expressing knowledge of the reading material. Students are expected to be actively engaged in responding to the literature. As students read, discuss, and write about the literature, they should gain a better understanding of themselves and the world they live in. |
