Palestinian Literature: Representations of a Silenced People   

This course will look at the stories, novels, poetry, and essays of a few of the important voices in contemporary Palestinian literature. This will be a discussion class that will enable members to express their analyses and appreciation of a people's literature very rarely brought to their attention. The course is akin to a class in Black American, Native American, or women's literature in that the texts represent the voices of a peoples' struggle for equality and freedom that constitute the core of these literatures.
