AMST 30450 - Latinos and the City

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

American Studies

Description:

This course is a critical examination of urban life and how it affects and is affected by Latinos. We will explore the salient features of social structure, experience and transformation in the American metropolis as it relates to the past and growing Latino population. This class will be geared toward viewing the city as simultaneously a social, cultural, and political economic phenomenon, with particular attention to the following concerns: a) the city as a locus of ethnic, racial, gender and class relations, interactions and conflicts; a) The growing urban population in Latin American and its effects on Latino immigration to the U.S.; c) how Latinos have been affected by strategies of urban "revitalization" and the future of the "postmodern" city in the major metropolitan areas of the United States (i.e. Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Miami).
