Introduction to Latina and Latino Studies: Space and Place

1 Unit · Undergraduate

The course offers students an overview of imperialism, colonialism, race, and capitalism to foster critical perspectives on how the Americas came to be. We will further explore how Mexican/Mexican American/Chicanx, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Dominican, Central American, and South American peoples are made and how individuals and communities from these backgrounds become Latinas, Latinos, Latines, and Latinxs in the United States.
