Listserve members,
I'm writing to ask for literary suggestions for a course I'm teaching this fall.  The course title is "Lands and Peoples of the 'Non-Western World'", and I will cover the following concepts (for example): colonialism, development, neocolonialism, nationalism, gender issues, etc.  I would like to have the students read novels that demonstrate the personal, human side of some of the issues we discuss in class, and as a way to introduce different perspectives from various regions we are discussing.  I hope to compile a list of at least 25 books from around the world that touch on issues related to the course, which are accessible to a lower-division undergraduate class.  Can anyone offer suggestions?  I'd be happy to send out a compilation of suggestions to the list.

Thanks,
Vanessa Hudson
