55-5211 CRW: American Voices

This is a course researching the writing processes of African American, Hispanic American, Native American, Asian American, and other ethnic American writers and the ways in which their reading and responses to reading have played influential roles in their fiction writing processes. Particular emphasis will be placed upon taking the point of view of racial and ethnic opposites. Journals and other writings will be used as examples of how writers read (and write about what they read) to develop dimensions of their own fiction and to see their work in relation to that of other writers.
