FB 2007;SQ 2008 - Special Topics in CRS: Migration in the Americas Offered: Location:Prescott and S Arizona & Mexico

Institution:

Prescott College

Subject:

Description:

Over the past decade, Arizona has increasingly been at the forefront of national immigration debates. Migration is a widespread phenomenon throughout the Americas that often lacks historical perspective and political and economic contextualization. Beginning with a historical overview of migration in the Americas, this course will focus on migration streams since World War II. We will analyze the dynamics behind political and economic migration, forced migration (including human trafficking), migration and gender, and issues of identity and transnationalism. Although much of our emphasis will rest upon undocumented migration into the United States, we will also examine internal migration within Latin American countries as well as lesser-known migration streams in the Americas. The course will include a week-long field study in the Arizona-Sonora border region.
