Course DescriptionGreat World Text is an advanced English and Social Studies course sponsored by the University of Wisconsin’s Center for Humanities. Dream of Ding Village is a work of fiction. While its sociocultural and geopolitical contexts are integral to its impact, it is important to remember that this is a work of literature. While literature can help us teach culture, history, politics and so on, no one text can bear the burden of representing an entire nation, culture, or people.
