NOTE ON RANGE OF TOPICS AND ON MULTICULTURAL LITERACY:
The above list of authors and topics includes both too much and too
little. There is too much literature to be treated adequately in
seventeen weeks; instructors are expected to make a representative,
but robust, selection. There are too few topics to give an adequate
idea of the range of possible approaches the faculty may bring to the
course.

Assignments:
