This HUMANITIES 260 course, "U.S. Intercultural
Perspectives" explores the literature, art, history, and social structures
of Native American, Mexican American, and Asian American cultures.
Although a critical historical perspective will inform our investigation,
this course anchors itself primarily in the contemporary. On our way to
debunking the myth of the melting pot, we will consider concepts such as
home and borders/boundaries and the ways in which language,
generation, the public and the private, assimilation and acculturation,
gender, class, and sexual identity all participate in constructing varied
cultural identities and struggles.
