LACS 2 Complexities of Latino Identity

The Latino population currently consists of approximately 40 million people in the United States; by the year 2050, the Census estimates that the Latino population will makeup at least 25 percent of the total U.S. population. This diverse group traces its origins to a variety of countries. Their experiences and identities in the United States are quite varied. This introductory course examines the experiences of reception, settlement, and transnational lives of various Latino groups - Chicanos, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Dominicans, Central and South Americans - in the United States. By using interdisciplinary research, this course explores issues of race, class, gender, migration, and representation of group politics.
