Download the flyer to share with your students:
In this course we will read narratives of transition—in particular, of decolonization and war—from around French-speaking world. In so doing, we will come to understand France’s involvement with these countries and the impact it had on the peoples of these countries. These particular narratives of transition are also literacy narratives: narratives that explore some aspect of reading and writing. Using these narratives for inspiration, we will write our own personal literacy narratives, working with composition and rhetoric to
inform our analyses of the Francophone works at hand.
Evelyne Accad, author of Poppy From the Massacre, will be at UIC’s Honors College with the translator of her novel, Cynthia T. Hahn, in early April.
This course meets MWF 1-1:50 and fulfills the Creatives Arts or World Cultures Gen Ed requirements. TAUGHT IN ENGLISH!
