ENGL 246 - Comparative Global South LiteraturesFC ARHU CD 4 credits This course will examine literatures of the Global South. Various methods including a South-South comparative approach will be used to interrogate literary works. As useful frameworks to traverse postcolonial borders, they help us navigate the realities of the Global South. Students will also gain an insight into the interconnected experiences shaped by politics, ecological crisis and discourses of gender and sexuality. We will read Anita Desai’s Clear Light of the Day (1980), Ken Saro-Wiwa’s Sozaboy (1985), Jamaica Kincaid’s Lucy (1990), Shyam Selvadurai’s Funny Boy (1994), Amitav Ghosh’s The Hungry Tide (2004), and Arundhati Roy’s The Ministry of Utmost Happiness (2017).
