Résumé

Coming to America: Twentieth-Century Multicultural American Literature and Film : Between 1900 and 2000 millions of immigrants entered the United States, more than came to any other country in the world. The effects were and continue to be profound for the country and for the immigrants themselves. In this course we will consider how the immigrant experience in America is reflected in fiction, poetry, and film. We will study texts created by immigrants from Europe, Latin America, and Asia, as well as by “internal” immigrantsNative Americans and African Americans who came to the country or were moved about against their will. In addition to studying the texts as art, we will consider such themes as assimilation, family, religion, language, prejudice, violence, class, and gender. We will also compare the American experience of immigration with that of Belgium and other European countries through class discussion and some research.
