at the WLC computer lab in TOH 175<\/p>\n

In your Spanish gateway course (250) you learned about the shifting definitions of family throughout the history of Spain. Along the way, you also analyzed the role of religion and other key social institutions in shaping the Spanish citizen; and you have learned how political changes and historical events in the Hispanic world have constantly transformed definitions of \u201chome,\u201d moral values, and national culture. These changes often drive communities to new demands for civil rights, education, equity, and social justice.<\/p>\n

Well, now you are ready to engage in similar discussions, as they relate to Latina\/x\/a histories in local ground. The current version of Spanish 273 will open the floor to talk about how processes of identity and inclusion have shaped Latino\/x\/ a communities in the United States. In this course we will consider the ways in which historical events lead to a multi-layered process of identity construction for Latino\/s\/as in the United States. You will learn how migration and displacement have shaped the work of Latino\/a\/x artists, intellectuals, activists, and community leaders. In doing so, we will examine how multiple Latinx\/o\/a communities reconstruct their cultures in the United States, making sense of their histories of displacement, and creating a new space to call their own. Among the topics to be covered will be healing narratives, gender politics, music of the diaspora, civil right movements, racial identities, and education. We will examine the work of authors \u00a0and popular and influential figures such as (la Honorable Juez) Sonia Sotomayor\u2019s Mi mundo adorado<\/em> (to be read in the Spanish version<\/strong>),<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0The Prince of the Cocuyos<\/a><\/em> by (poet) Richard Blanco, Tato Laviera\u2019s (poet) \u201cPuerto Rican Obituary,<\/a>\u201d (novelist) Julia \u00c1lvarez\u00b4 De c\u00f3mo las muchachas Garc\u00eda perdieron el acento<\/a> (to be read in the Spanish version<\/strong>),<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0films such as Frances Negr\u00f3n Muntaner\u2019s Brincando el Charco.<\/em><\/a> We will also examine the history of the Hispanic presence in the USA through US cultural production and media, such as the PBS series Latino Americans (w\/ focus on the concept of “Extranjeros en su propia tierra.”)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
