Women in Chinese American Lit

Women in Chinese American Diaspora Literature, 1950s-1990s
In this course we will analyze literary works written about Chinese American women by Chinese American women in the second half of the twentieth century. A comparison of commercially successful English-language works, such as Amy Tan’s The Joy Luck Club, and works originally written in Chinese for an overseas audience in Asia, such as Nieh Hualing’s Mulberry and Peach, will be the starting point for investigating questions about who these narratives are for, how they shape the Chinese American identity, and how they reflect the intersections of gender, race, and language. Students will engage in multi-format discussion, written literary analysis, and peer review throughout the course. This course will be taught in English.
