Hi Everyone,
My name is Wilson Ruiz. I am a transfer student from BMCC and I have been attending Baruch College since Spring 2011 on a part time basis. My major is Computer Information Systems and I will be graduating in 2016. My favorite book is The Firm by John Grisham. I enjoy novels of mysteries coming to light. At the moment, my current interest has been music, hang out with friends. I have been running a personal “project” to maximize my capabilities in all areas of my life. The portion of the reading that I couldn’t grasp was “During the same period postcolonial studies emerged to challenge the primacy of discrete national literatures and what seemed like their insular concerns, providing a framework for studying literature and culture in a transnational context that moved beyond and explicitly questioned older Eurocentric models of “comparative” analysis.” The introduction of this book is about how globalization has impacted literature from a cross-cultural perspective. I believe that what the author says on this portion of the reading is that some of the countries that were conquered by Europeans, after they were conquered, the existing culture faded away and the new perspective of the colonial was born, but habitants were not accepting the changes that Europeans brought to the new European colony.
Happy spring 2015 semester!
