LALS 010. First-Year Seminar: (B)orders and (Dis)orders: (Im)migration, and Imagined Communities

This course will focus on social, economic, and political forces pushing/pulling people from Latin American to the United States. We will examine how "Spanish," "Hispanics," and "Latinos" adjust, integrate, assimilate, resist, and adapt to the many forces affecting their lives and how they are creating new ethnic, racial, and local identities. Major theme patterns that will be included will be: second-class citizenship, identity formation, assimilation, ethnic culture, community maturation, labor struggles, economic contributions, social mobility, and immigration policy.
