This course is centered on History yet also takes an interdisciplinary approach. It moves from the Latino/a, actual and mythic, through the Mexican American War and the Spanish-American War, to the present day. Topics include the Bracero program, Puerto Rico, labor organization, political activism, and Latino/a culture. Reflecting our location, we will consider how Brazilian Americans fit into this picture. The contemporary politics of immigration and the border will also be considered. The class explores the difficulty of grouping diverse people, Hispanics, Chicanos, Mexicans, Mexican Americans, Dominicans, Dominican Americans, Pureto Ricans, Hispanos, Cuban-Americans, etc, as a single group.
