Introducing Ethnic Literature.
Viera, Carroll
Exercise Exchange, v45 n2 p17-19 Spr 2000
Describes an activity introducing the study of non-Western literature (exploring themes of colonization and racial or ethnic discrimination) to students who have had little contact with people of other races or cultures and who have never suffered significant discrimination. Discusses how this two-day exercise demonstrates the everyday realities of racism by dividing students into "superior" and "inferior" groups. (SR)
