Jean Jonassaint, Samir Dayal, Jaspal Singh, and Deepika Bahri:  the
following is the list of required texts from my Postcolonial Novel
course.  To those of you who sent me your address, I will send the
complete syllabus.  The first eight novels on the list are required for
all students in the class.  Students choose from among the final three
for their papers.
Chinua Achebe, ANTHILLS OF THE SAVANNAH
Julia Alvarez, IN THE TIME OF THE BUTTERFLIES
Miguel Angel Asturias, EL SENOR PRESIDENTE
Jose Y. Dalisay, SARCOPHAGUS AND OTHER STORIES
Carlos Fuentes, THE DEATH OF ARTEMIO CRUZ
Buchi Emecheta, THE JOYS OF MOTHERHOOD
Jessica Hagedorn, DOGEATERS
Ngugi Wa Thiong'O, WEEP NOT, CHILD
Ama Ata Aidoo, LOVE STORY
Bienvenido N. Santos, WHAT THE HELL FOR YOU LEFT YOUR HEART IN SAN
   FRANCISCO
Claribel Alegria, ASHES OF IZALCO
As you can discern from the list, I focus on Mexico and Central
America, Sub-Saharan Africa, and The Philippines.  My reasons for doing
so are that these are areas with which I have some familiarity and
because we have historians with specialties in these areas who are my
resources.
