Latin@s: A Comparative History
Latin@s: A Comparative History
In this course we will study the formation of diverse Latin@ communities from a comparative perspective. We will discuss the racial, national, linguistic, and religious diversity within Latin@ communities in the United States, and gain perspectives from the experience of Latin@s in countries such as Great Britain, France, Spain, and Canada. What are the relationships among citizens, legal immigrants, and the undocumented? How do law enforcement, immigration policy and language shape the Latin@ experience? We will answer these questions by looking at Mexican, Brazilian, Puerto Rican, Dominican, and other case studies. 3 hrs. sem.
