{"ModuleCode":"EN5236R","ModuleTitle":"The Literature Of The Asian Diaspora","Department":"English Language & Literature","ModuleDescription":"This module invites students to think across cultures about the literature of Asian peoples in the English-speaking world. Examining literature produced by and about Asians living in Britain, Australia, North America, Africa, and the Caribbean, it probes the similarities and differences in the experience of migration as understood by different Asian groups, as well as by members of the same ethnicity inhabiting different regions. The course traces changes in mainstream attitudes towards Asian immigrants from racist demonizations to model minorities and their effect on literary production. Texts will be complemented by readings in Asian and Asian American Studies and postcolonial theory.","ModuleCredit":"5","Workload":"0-3-0-2-5","Types":["Module"],"Corequisite":"NIL","Prerequisite":"Must be registered as a Graduate Student in the University or with the approval of the Department","Timetable":[{"ClassNo":"1","LessonType":"Seminar-Style Module Class","WeekText":"Every Week","DayText":"Monday","StartTime":"1800","EndTime":"2100","Venue":"AS4-0119"}],"LecturePeriods":["Monday Evening"]}
