HIST 1691 - LATINO HISTORY


Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course will analyze the forces shaping population movements between Latin America and the United States and how these have evolved over time. We will explore how Latino immigrants have integrated, resisted, and adapted to the forces impacting their lives in the United States over the last century and a half, creating new ethnic, racial, and regional identities in the process. We uncover the varied experiences of Latinos and Latin American immigrants with racism and discrimination, identity formation, community building, work and labor struggles, and social mobility as we map out the heterogeneous mosaic of Latin American and Caribbean diasporas in the United States.
