ENG 230 - Caribbean Literature (1)

This course offers the unique experience of studying Caribbean literature in the Bahamas. We will study a range of genres, including poetry, fiction, and nonfiction, from a range of time periods and Caribbean islands. We will also treat the landscape itself as a text, “reading” the natural world and such sites as ruins and monuments to understand the environment and history of San Salvador island. Course topics may include the creation of national identity through literature, local writers and tourists responding to the environment, and writing from a postcolonial position. Prerequisite: Writing-designated course (W). Offered every third year.
