GLOBAL LATINIDADES: LATINX AND LATIN AMERICAN MIGRANTS AND CULTURE WORLDWIDE

Credit Hours: 3 · Undergraduate Lower-Level

This course surveys experiences and cultural expressions of Latinidad in a global context. After delving into the genealogy and the trajectories of the discourse of Latinidad, we examine a variety of archives and cultural products that reveal the experiences of Latin American and Latinx subjects who migrate or reside for a significant time across the world (from the Americas to Asia, the Pacific, Africa, and Europe), as a result of labor demands, political and economic crises in Latin America, and military recruitment for major regional and global conflicts. We also study the global flow of Latinx and Latin American cultural products and practices.
