Which American Dream

Latin American Immigration and the American Dream
Transnational migration, especially from Latin America, is transforming the ethnic composition of the Unites States at a time when our class inequalities are widening and our consumption levels are becoming unsustainable. In this seminar we will focus on migration streams from Mexico and Central America, compare them to earlier migration streams, and explore the implications for future generations. Will large migration streams make American society more tolerant and increase economic opportunities for the poor? Are large migration streams the product of inevitable historical forces, or do they instead result from decision-making by American elites? 3 hrs. sem.
