Overview of class

How do Indigenous, Indian and Native collectives interact with literature? What role does literature play in political action? After considering the ethics and best practices of researching Indigenous literature, we will explore texts of the so-called Caste War, the Zapatista Army of National Liberation [EZLN], the Pan Maya Movement, and/or the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities in Ecuador [CONAIE].
