U.S. Intercultural Perspectives

HUMANITIES 260, University of Arizona

Instructor: Sandra D. Shattuck
Librarian: Cathy Larson

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.
