This course will explore representations of race, ethnicity, and nature in American literature—including literature written both by and about Native Americans, Whites, African Americans, and Latino/as—from the colonial period to the present day. In so doing, we will investigate the complex ways that race, ethnicity, and nature have intersected in American literary, social, and environmental history and the significance of that history for environmentalism and social and environmental justice today. Counts towards the major for the ENSU Environmental Justice and Culture track.
