History
Description: This course examines the history and historiography of Latino/a communities in the United States from the fifteenth century to the present, from the perspective of diverse Latine communities and in a trans-regional frame. Major topics will be structured around the historical experiences of a diversity of communities across the U.S. -- Mexican-American, Puerto Rican, Cuban-American, Dominican, Guatemalan, among others -- and their transnational connections with Latin America. We will consider how the field of Latine History is defined in historiography, with attention to how colonial legacies, linguistic diversity, race and ethnicity, and politics inform our understanding of Latine and U.S. histories. The course will examine the history of Latines from a national and transnational perspective, engaging with Latine communities in a wide geographic frame within the U.S., including the Southwest, California, Midwest, the East Coast and Puerto Rico. Letter grade only.
