Kommentar/Beschreibung

This course provides an introduction to Asian American literature from the mid-twentieth century to the present, exploring how writers engage with themes of immigration, race, gender, sexuality, and the construction of Asian American identities. In addition to introducing key concepts in Asian American literary studies, the course engages with some other contemporary directions in the field, including literature on trauma and healing, human relationships with the environment, and science fiction.

Students are required to acquire two books: "M. Butterfly" by David Henry Hwang and "The Best We Could Do" by Thi Bui. Additional readings will be provided on Stud.IP.

The detailed syllabus will be available on Stud.IP from 15.09.2025.
