Latina/o/x Sociology

Catalog description

Provides concepts and ideas with which to analyze the contemporary and historical experiences of Latinos. While often thought of and treated as one single racial or ethnic group, Latinos have much internal diversity and a range of lived experiences. Draws primarily from sociological texts to make sense of the history of Latino groups; the evolving discipline of U.S. Latino Studies; core tenets such as migration, exclusion and belonging; and how race, class, gender and legal status shape the U.S. Latino experience.
