授業テーマ	An introduction to postcolonial Caribbean literature in English.
授業のねらい・到達目標	This course introduces students to one of postcolonial Caribbean literature’s most important novels, Jamaica Kincaid’s Annie John, as well as key issues in Caribbean literature, history, culture, and identity in essays by Caribbean writers.
授業の方法	By reading and discussing Jamaica Kincaid’s novel Annie John, students will develop a deeper understanding of the impact of colonialism on the formation of gender identities. After reading the novel, we will read a short story by Kincaid that offers a different way seeing mother-daughter relationships under colonialism, then two essays by Caribbean writers that describe the struggles encountered in migration to the colonial ‘center’, England. In addition to readings and discussions, students will prepare short presentations, and write a final essay.
