    Description
    This course examines the historical, cultural, and social development of the Mexican American community from Pre-Columbian civilizations to contemporary U.S. society. Through a humanities and social-science lens, students analyze how historical forces, migration patterns, cultural expression, and social movements have shaped Mexican American identity in the U.S. Students engage with primary sources, literature, and cultural expressions, applying historical inquiry, borderlands theory, and social-scientific analysis to examine identity, power, resistance, and cultural transformation from Pre-Columbian civilizations to the present.
