ENG 257 - The American Working Class in Fiction and Non-Fiction
College-level reading and writing skills (a passing grade in WR 115 or placement into WR 121) are strongly recommended for success in this course. Using the concept of the "American Dream" to examine work, class, and social mobility, students can appreciate the power of class to shape our individual lives and our culture. A prevailing belief in America is that we are a "classless" society. However, this literature course includes fiction, non-fiction, autobiography, poetry, and documentaries that explore ways that the inequalities of class, ethnicity, race, and gender interrelate to sustain the power and interests of economic elites.
