This course identifies border security and illegal immigration, "terrorism" prevention, and immigration from Mexico and "Muslim Countries" as central to current debates about U.S. immigration. Literature about black immigration from Barbados, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, and from an African region of a future earth offers lenses that complicate what immigration means in/for the U.S. From this perspective, fiction's "imaginable truths" allow us to ask different questions and, importantly, imagine different outcomes. Imaginable truths in black immigrant fiction rethink relationships between immigrants to and citizens of the U.S.
