Desc:CONTEMPORARY AFRO-LATIN AMERICAN NOVEL. In this course, students will read five to ten novels authored by contemporary Afro-Latin American writers, such as Mayra Febres-Santos of Puerto Rico, Lucia Charun-Illescas of Peru, Quince Duncan of Costa Rica, and Washington Cucurto of Argentina. The goal of the course is to examine the style, techniques, and themes that permeate these novels. We will examine questions such as what correlation is there between the authors' identity and their themes? What role does history play in their novels? How do these authors engage with issues of race discrimination?

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
