EN 649 World Literature in English


A survey of the classics of English fiction from the old British colonies—Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa; India, Australia, Caribbean, and Canada. The course considers the postcolonial issues of identity, trans-cultural hybridity, diasporic writing, and globalization as aftereffects of Imperialism. Besides the works of three Nobel laureates (Wole Soyinka, Nadine Gordimer, and V.S. Naipaul), the course includes well-known texts of Chinue Achebe, Ngugi wa Thiong’o, Salman Rushdie, George Lamming, Jamaica Kincaid, Margaret Laurence, and Margaret Atwood.
