ENGL 070A PZ -U.S. Movement Literatures
Institution: Pitzer
Description: Forms of the Struggle: U.S. Movement Literatures After 1929
A movement literature, according to Juliana Spahr, is “a resistant literature with
ties to political movements.†This introductory course surveys forms of cultural production associated
with specific U.S. social justice movements, including novels, poems, theater, manifestos, speeches, and
essays. What role has literature played in the critique of liberal democracy and in shaping the rhetoric
of collective demands for equality, justice, and dignity? We’ll consider this question in light of six case
studies: the Popular Front; the Black Power/Arts Movements; the Chicano Movement; the American
Indian Movement/Red Power; Gay Liberation; Anti-Globalization Uprisings/ #Occupy.
Prerequisite(s): See the current course schedule for registration restrictions.
