INTS 17.11 Strange Natives, Strange Women: The Uninvited Others of European Literature

How have Europeans colonizers represented differences between themselves and the peoples they have conquered?  How do perceived or imagined differences of ethnicity or gender arise from and help constitute the colonizers' own sense of cultural and national identity?  We will explore these questions in literature and travel writings by authors such as: Bâ, Babel, Césaire, Conrad, Equiano, Euripides, Friel, Rhys, Rider Haggard, Shakespeare, and Tolstoy.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
