Diversity and World Literature

In my World Literature class, we have read about seven different books and all are from different parts of the world.  The authors of these books come from different diversities and cultures.  In my other Liberal Arts classes we talked a lot about diversity and different races.  We discussed how these different races had leaders who showed servant leadership and how they helped other people.  Learning about all the different diversities and races is a big factor in how a person or the world views the author.  Literature is the element to which we point to know people or the author.  By studying the different races in my liberal arts classes I was able to understand more about the author and where his/her writing was coming from.  If I didn't understand the culture or race of the writer, I would not have understood the book and dismissed the writer as a whole.
