ARABIC 252L - Global Refugee Narratives


3 Credit(s) | Lecture | 
Course can be counted for credit once

Description:
Across political, cultural, and literary narratives, problematic representations of Muslim refugees are often fueled by distorted imaginations of their cultural and religious identities. In this course, students will explore literary texts and films that examine the contemporary global refugee crisis. Supplementary readings will provide critical context for studying the different constructions and realities of refugee lives. Students will emerge from this class with the ability to critically examine the cultural spaces refugees occupy in western discourse. They will further be able to articulate how refugee identities are constructed across a range of literary narratives that represent them.
