    Description
    This course presents an overview of United States (U.S.) history from 1848 to the present with an emphasis on the role of peoples of Mexican-origin -- both immigrants and U.S. born. History from social, political, economic, and cultural perspectives will be examined. The contributions of Mexican-origin people to the multicultural development of contemporary American society, including their interaction with other Latino communities, as well as people of European, African, Asian, and Native descent are emphasized. The impact of U.S. attitudes and policies on peoples of Mexican-origin will also be addressed.
