American Diaspora

So,

I have a class this fall (my first in a doctoral program) and I am excited about it. This class is called Studies In Contemporary Literature: Transnational Diasporas In the U.S. I have been anxious to start reading, but the professor has never replied to my emails concerning giving me a reading list. I have mostly read texts from Australia that dealt with these issues in the past, so I am unfamiliar with what authors or texts there are out there concerning this particular subject. I was wondering if you all might have suggestions of what books this professor might choose or what kind of research I can do.

I imagine you might encounter Gloria Anzaldúa, but I'm not certain. Maybe check out Borderlands/La Frontera. UT?
