Our course begins from the proposition that we can make best sense of the center from the margins, and that we can best understand the nation from its borders and its peripheries. We give particular attention to the critical importance of the marginalized, migrant, immigrant, and/or refugee writers for their examination and analyses of American life. Some questions this class seeks to explore: What is the relationship between history and memory? How can creative or autobiographical writing challenge a society's historical memory? How can story create spaces of resistance for marginalized peoples? How might these texts help us to tell a more complete story of America? How might various forms of literary production have the capacity to subvert and revision dominant historical narratives?
