COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course will focus on cultural and political expressions and representations of Latinos/as in the US. We will draw from historical accounts, fiction, ethnographies, and media representations. We will consider how these forms of expression are used to represent U.S. Latina/o life. We will examine how ethnography works as a field method and as a form of communication. Our course will cover a broad range of areas and textual modes, so that we may do some comparative work.

RESTRICTIONS: Upperclassmen only. Freshmen need permission of the instructor.

NOTE: No P/N allowed.
