    Description
    This course surveys the history of the Mexican people in the United States from 1848 to the present, with a focus on the development of Chicana/o/x ethnic identity. Students will explore the politics of race and its origins in the colonial process, examining how these factors have shaped the historical experiences of Mexican Americans. Concentrating on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, discussions will emphasize the participation, contributions, and experiences of Mexican Americans in areas such as education, politics, and civil rights.
