SPAN 328 The History of Latinos in the UnitedýStates
This course examines the experience of Latino immigrants in the United States by considering how "Spanish," "Hispanics," "Latinos," etc. have adjusted, integrated, assimilated, resisted, and adapted to the many forces that affect their lives in the U.S., while creating new ethnic, racial, and local identities in the process. By studying the experience of Latino immigrants with a focus toward patterns of second class citizenship, identity formation, ethnic culture, community maturation, labor struggles, and social mobility, the course maps out a heterogeneous mosaic of Latin American and Caribbean diasporas in the U.S.
