Welcome to LIT 205!

This will be the web site for the Fall 2010 LIT 205:060 course at the Sam Wolf Granite City Campus of Southwestern Illinois College. We meet in person on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30-10:45 AM but this web space will help us "meet" outside those hours. We will use this space for discussion and as a resource!

Class for Tuesday, August 31

So is the beginning of Kehinde going?! I know chapter two can be kind of rough, especially when the characters Kehinde and Moriammo, start talking in their native toungue which is a mix of Igbo and English. But I think you can figure out the context, even if you can't figure out every single word (and don't forget that some of the Igbo words are defined in a glossary in the back of the book).

Don't forget that on Tuesday I would like to start class by talking about the mosque situation in NYC. Since this is an event happening right now (and some might argue ethnocentrism plays a crucial role), why don't we talk about it a little before jumping into Kehinde? The links to the articles are on the right side of this page!

See you in class! :D
