Explores the myth of Christopher Columbus in the US across poetry, popular culture (TV, music), and material culture (statues, monuments), with a focus on Columbus as a key site of ethnic and racial identity formation in the US. Black diasporic and Indigenous perspectives are placed in conversation with those of Italian Americans--a group that has historically been a limit-case for the equation of Europeanness with whiteness. Students will deepen their understandings of the multiplicity and contested nature of ethnic and racial identities, as they emerge from and contribute to foundational myths and their meanings over time.

This course will center around Giovanni Boccaccio’s Decameron, a collection of stories written in the wake of the plague that devastated Florence in 1348. We’ll consider the connection between storytelling and survival, whether in the wake of devastating disease or political crisis, as we move across the medieval world through Indian, Persian, and Arab traditions of storytelling. And we’ll make our way to global contemporary reflections of this impulse to tell stories in a time of plague, with authors such as Salman Rushdie, Uzodinma Iweala, and Margaret Atwood.
