Syllabus

This seminar/discussion course will look at America not as one land, but as a collection of very different cultures. Regional differences such as North-South and New England-California and the ethnic differences of Afro-Americans, Mexican-Americans and Native Americans will be studied. The point will be to try to understand what it means for a land to be so culturally diverse and still one nation. The resulting different speech patterns of each region and group will also be noted. This is a "round table" seminar where each student is expected to have read the assigned text and share his/her opinions during the discussion
