    Description
    Drawing from a wide range of philosophical, historical, literary, aesthetic and culturally relevant texts, this course will introduce students to the experiences of Chicanx and Latinx communities in the U.S. Particular emphasis will be placed on exploring social and political movements as they attempt to deconstruct and challenge institutions of race, class, gender, citizenship and notions of belonging. Concepts such as anti-imperialism, decolonization, liberation and self-determination will be explored throughout the course as viable alternatives to racism, xenophobia, white supremacy, and human and environmental exploitation.
