Concluding discussions
1) In what respects does Evaristo's Girl, Woman, Other illustrate the principle of transculturality and, by contrast, challenge models of both multiculturalism and interculturality?
Try to find and explain 2-3 specific examples from the novel.
2) What do you feel you have learned this semester? Were there any particular surprises? How have your perspectives changed and/or some of your presuppositions been challenged?
3) What do our texts and authors have to tell us not only about ethnic minority identities, but also about the ways in which human identity is negotiated and constructed more generally? Have you taken away particular insights about the shape and nature of 'cultural identity' itself?
