Welcome to the Home Page for Prof. Furr's course ENLT 176, "World Literature: Coming of Age Theme"
Fall 1999

I plan to put on this page links to all kinds of course information and other material related to the readings in this course.
Please let me know if you find any relevant sites on the Internet that other students should know about.

Find Any MSU Student's Alpha Account (if they have one...)

Email me here if you have any questions, comments, criticisms, or problems.

ORGANIZATION:

* I present these eight themes or topics to you at the beginning of the course. You'll find them in these and many, many other novels and literature from formerly colonial countries.

• NOTE: By pressing the button on the far right below each 'slide', you can get a large-print copy of the slide without any illustrations, suitable for printing, if you like. The button with the little house on it takes you back to this page, our course's "Home Page."

** I will post  the assignments at the end of the previous class, so you can do them on time. When you have done an assignment, you can delete the message I sent you giving you that assignment, because you'll always be able to find it here if you sho uld ever want it again.

In addition, here are Links to other sites that are relevant to our course. This is really what you'll find on the rest of this page -- you can get to the other materials by "jumping" from the links above

Imperialism

Here are some good readings that will help you understand the concept of imperialism, how it works, and how important it is to understand it if you are to ever understand what's going on in the world!

• "Imperialism 101", Chapter One of Michael Parenti's book Against Empire.
• "Imperial Domination". How imperialism works in our own day -- "neoimperialism". From the same book as the last link.

PLEASE REMEMBER: You must have at least two e-mail addresses for this course. You can sign up for an "Alpha" account in any MSU computer lab (ask the lab assistant). To get  free web-based e-mail, go to one of these two indexes:

• Yahoo's List of Free E-mail Sites;
• The Free Email Address Directory - more complete, and lots more help than Yahoo.
