What are the current (11/2018) TESU Non-Western Literature alternatives available?
#34
my problem with AE is that the entire thing is about colonialism, so it's not about "African" literature at all. Also, 2 of the 4 books assigned are fictional and tbh not very good fiction. And most of the selections include plenty of racism against whites as well as racism against blacks, but the course never examines the anti-white stuff at all, obviously.

The worst of the four books assigned was written by a woman who fictionalizes it by pretending that her mother wrote it as a letter to her, and the entire "letter" is her mom talking about how amazing she is. Another one of them includes the author's wistful recollections about the times he threw rocks at retarded people and stole money from the offering plate at church, also the time he burned down a homeless woman's tent so she would have to go back to living under a tree somewhere. Also then he includes a stirring condemnation against the British for dropping the A-bomb on Japan, because they are racists. The fact that they didn't drop the A-bomb is not addressed. It's just pretty grim reading, not enjoyable at all.

I haven't taken non-western lit but I don't see how it could be worse.
