  • Course aims and objectives:


    • To learn about/familiarize yourself with the history & historical contexts of contemporary British (and, secondarily, US-American) multiculturalism.
    • To develop a working familiarity with recent and contemporary theories of multiculturalism, interculturality, and transculturality.
    • To examine and interrogate the ways in which a selection of essays and literary texts reflect, embody, and critique some of these ideas.
    • To consider the question: what do 'transcultural' literary texts have to tell us about the ways in which all of us negotiate and construct our identities?
