    Description
    Students learn about the experience of Cen- tral Americans by critically analyzing race, racism, racialization, ethnicity, equity, ethno-centrism, eurocentrism, white supremacy, self-determination, liberation, decolonization, sovereignty, impe- rialism, settler colonialism, and anti-racism. Students learn about the conditions in Central America that lead to emigration to the United States. Additionally, the course investigates specific chal- lenges faced by Central American migrants on their journeys to the United States and critically examine the struggle for racial and social justice in the United States. Students critically exam- ine the connection between transnational politics as it relates to migration and immigration to the United States for the Central Americans. The course also examines support networks estab- lished in the United States to help these communities adapt to their new homeland.
