CONN 373  Hawaii's Literatures  In this course, students do
three main things. First, students read, listen to, view,
analyze, interpret, and discuss, by mouth and in writing,
selected works of Native Hawaiian and multicultural Hawai'i
literatures, both performing and written arts. Second, students
examine literary and other cultural expressions of Hawai'i in
historical contexts, not only for how contexts and their
interplay may affect understandings but also for how literary
works and their authors interpret and present history'and
influence how we view history. Third, students try to comprehend
changes that have occurred over the course of more than two
centuries while Hawai'i went from being a recognized, sovereign
nation to being a colony of the United States, as these changes
are presented in and through Hawai'i's literatures and
histories.
