Course Title
Travel Writing in South Africa
Course Description
This course takes students to South Africa and exposes them to a range of South African cultures, including Xhosa, English-speaking, Afrikaner, and Muslim cultures. Students read models of international travel writing to see how writers express awareness of cultural similarity and difference and of their own cultural values and identity. Finally, students write travel essays of their own in which they reflect on the South African cultures they have encountered and their own relationships to these cultures, and subject these essays to the creative workshop method. Prerequisite: ENGL-100 or HONS-100 with a grade of B- or better. 1 SH. CC: Cross-Cultural.
