SOCY 44 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.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
