AIIS 4670
The Indigenous Poetry of Resistance

Course information provided by the 2023-2024 Catalog.

In this course, we will read poems of resistance from Indigenous people in Turtle Island (North America), Palestine, and Guåhan (Guam). Our purpose will be to understand how this poetry is both a description and an act of resistance to settler colonialism and to compare the forms resistance takes in these different settler locals.


Outcomes

  • Describe the meaning of "settler colonialism" and its different manifestations in the locals of the course.
  • Identify the concept of Indigeneity as a historical, geographical, and political term.
  • Differentiate the various meanings of the term "resistance" as a political term.
  • Thoroughly interpret poetry.
  • Demonstrate effective ways to write about poetry.
