LIT-3020: Indigenous Voices

This course delves into the literature and poetry of contemporary Native American authors. We engage the works of Leslie Marmon Silko, Sherman Alexie, Joy Harjo, N. Scott Momaday, Robin Wall Kimmer, and many more. We will endeavor to understand the multitudinous fabric that inspires and informs these writers including: the role of cultural genocide and decline, intersectionality, and the collision of postmodernism and capitalism within native traditions. The resilience of the human spirit, the acknowledgment of tragedy, and the dedication to survival pervades these writings. My hope is to respectfully bear witness to the pains, joys, and complexities of the Native American experience.
