LIT 4930 Native American Writing MWF 5 TUR1317
This Honors class will focus on the work of contemporary American Indians who write and publish in English. Students who have no familiarity with Indian writing, who are willing and able to rethink their assumptions, and who are open to new experience will find a great deal of pleasure in this class. The approach to the material will not be historical or polemic; as much as able, [and that ability or inability may be central to class discussions], the class will look at the writing as writing, seekin g to meet it on its own terms. Taught by A. Carl Bredahl.
