ENGL 109D - First Year Experience:Language And Literacy In Ethnolinguistic Chicago

Institution:

Northeastern Illinois University

Subject:

English

Description:

Chicago is a city of shifting and competing identities. For instance, thousands of Chicanos and Mexicans came to Chicago after World War I and the Immigration Act of 1917, and today, these and other Latinos, such as Puerto Ricans, constitue one of every four residents throughout the Windy City. This course approaches Chicago as a site of contact among groups of people, and it examines the ways that these groups have established, negotiated and defended identities through the use of language and literacy.
