Essay Instructions: Cultural Analysis: This course contained a blend of traditional and minority/multicultural literature, a focus that was intended since we are a nation predicated on different racial and ethnic origins, after all. Multicultural and minority studies are essential when considering "the big picture"--or the entire landscape--of what it means to be American. African Americans, Native Americans (otherwise known as American Indians), Hispanics, Indians, and Asian Americans contribute to the globalization of American literature, adding richness and variety to our literary tradition. Please go through the weekly readings and select two works of literature by women, minority, or multicultural authors. Write a critical response in 2-3 pages showing how literature by such traditionally "marginalized" figures can highlight their status as outsider or "other" in society in such a way that reaches out to encourage awareness and understanding in its mainstream members. The two authors and works to use are Hughes?s ?Song for a Dark Girl? and Lahiri?s ?The Third and Final Continent?.
