Latin@s Remaking America: Immigration, Culture, and Language | Harvard University
This course is an introduction to the multiple ways the Latino diaspora is challenging and contributing to the revitalization of the cultural, religious, and democratic processes in the United States. Special focus on migration histories to and from Latin America, cultural exchange and social practices in families, citizenship, the arts, and religious traditions. Attention is paid to the robust debates about immigration reform, ethnic identity, Dreamers, education, bilingualism, and American cultures as cores and borderlands. The course provides opportunities for students to research and write about their own family migration stories. We use film, music, poetry, and painting as ways of understanding the Latinx world.
