CCAS 153DU.S. Central American Narratives
Chicana/o and Central American Studies · 4 units · Undergraduate upper division (100-199)
Examination of textual narratives and genres that emerged or were actively deployed from Central America beginning with civil wars of late 1960s into late 1990s. Texts are read beyond confines of nation-state as narratives and subjectivities in exile. As part of stories of immigrants, these narratives contribute to making of U.S. Central American diasporas, and these communities making home in some other place than original or (re-)imagined homeland.
