This course closely examines the lives of Latinxs in the United States (and beyond!), and explores various iterations of the contemporary Latinx novel as a means to understand key social, gender, linguistic, and political issues that Latinx communities face. This course questions labels such as “Hispanic” or “Latinx,” for their homogenizing and commodifying effects, and seeks to understand the varied experience of Latinx communities within a state that is ambivalent about their presence.
