This course explores how questions of culture and power infuse ethnographies about Latinos and Latinas, such as those of racism, sexism, immigration, and activism. We will critically explore the theoretical, methodological, and political implications and questions generated by a range of material on Latinas and Latinos, including works in the humanities with an ethnographic pulse and works written by Latinas/os. Fundamental to the course is the following: students are required to work in small groups to produce ethnographies of Latinas/os on the University of Illinois campus, as part of the Ethnography of the University initiative.
