Students will develop an understanding of regional areas through the readings, and study the manner in which writers from Latin America weave struggles related to ethnicity, cultural traditions, and historical events into their creative works with a focus on important figures of Latin American narrative. Satisfies upper-division GE Area C2 (Literatures, Philosophies, and Values) and the Ethnic Studies requirement.
