Section Info:
In this class, we will examine the cultures of U.S. Latinas and Latinos. We will focus on recent ethnographic studies about AND by Latinos and Latinas. Topics to be discussed include: ethnic and racial identity, language, racial discourse, gender inequality, sexuality, power, class hierarchies, cultural citizenship, and popular culture--all from an anthropological perspective. In the process, we will critically examine the imagined, the intended, and the invented communities constituting the Latina/o population of this country. In particular, we will explore (though not exclusively) the experiences of Mexican American, Chicanas/os, Puerto Ricans, Cuban Americans and Dominicans in the United States.
