first emphasis of both courses.

of one or more of the following cultures: African-American, Hispanic-American,
Asian-American, and Native American. Some Anglo-American works may also
be taught alongside literature of these other cultures for the purpose
of placing them in context. |

in the context of the times and the circumstances of their composition.
Students will write critical papers in response to the readings. |
