Chicano Art Histories and Futures

3 Hours

Mexican American art since the 1960s, with an emphasis on the visual production and exhibition of identity inside and outside the Chicano civil rights movement and the politics of U.S. multiculturalism. An introduction to a broad range of art history written to date--including recent feminist and queer interventions--as a means of envisioning a supposed "post-Chicano" or "post-racial" moment. Art History 341L and Latin American Studies 327 (Topic 1) may not both be counted. Three lecture hours a week for one semester.
