Diasporic Literature

We are the @KPUenglish class studying diasporic narratives with @GregChan_Ink this fall. Our research is guided by the theme of #BridgesNotWalls.

[Diasporic Literature @ENGL3345]

Last class on Tamarind Mem, so it's time to savour the sourness of this fruit

[ResuliV @v_resuli]

Home and homeland are different for every immigrant that leaves their country. What of the people with no home or homeland? @ENGL3345

[ResuliV @v_resuli]

It's nice to see how much we have changed from the time the novels were written. Canada has become so accepting and multicultural @ENGL3345

[ResuliV @v_resuli]

The books we have read in class have opened my eyes to the difficulties people have faced locally by the Canadian people and Gov @ENGL3345

[ResuliV @v_resuli]

This class helped me see how my diasporic story has common elements with the diasporic stories we have read in our class @ENGL3345

[ResuliV @v_resuli]

Crazy to see my progression in blogging over the course of the class @ENGL3345

Really enjoyed the alternative assignment of tweeting and blogging about the works we are reading in class #bridgesnotwalls @ENGL3345 😊

'I ...have reached that stage in my life where I only turn the pages of a boo already written, I do not write." @ENGL3345 #tamarindamem

[Ashton Mantle @amantle3345]

first time tweeting for a class and really enjoyed the experience! @ENGL3345 #bridgesnotwalls

[Kyme @kymkenglish3345]

@ENGL3345 Each book, never failing to make my heart ache.

[Kyme @kymkenglish3345]

@ENGL3345 I can't help but adore Kaminis ability to see the "hidden worlds that seethed beneath the surface of the ordinary."

[Kyme @kymkenglish3345]

@ENGL3345 I don't know what I'd prefer- Roopas logic and rationalism, or Kaminis creativity and imagination.

[Kyme @kymkenglish3345]

@ENGL3345 Another common theme apparent throughout the diasporic novels we've read thus far. Something I've never heard of until this class!

[Kyme @kymkenglish3345]

@ENGL3345 "in order to deflect the evil eye from the both of us, she spoke in a code language of mentioning and not mentioning..."

[BabyDoll195 @TheMadHatter345]

"And when I see faintly at her, she is shocked" @ENGL3345 #confirmed I knew she was intimate with Paul De Costa !

[BabyDoll195 @TheMadHatter345]

Finally starting to see things from saroja's point of view. Still not clear why she wanted the same life for her daughter's. @ENGL3345

[Ashton Mantle @amantle3345]

Saroja's life views reminds me of Poh Poh towards Liang @ENGL3345

[Ashton Mantle @amantle3345]

Oppressing the children as an attempt to make them fight back @ENGL3345 #breakingdowntobuildup
