    Description
    This course is a study of the behavioral, physiological, and psychological experiences of a variety of different groups within the Latino/Chicano cultural collective. Topics chosen reflect the reciprocal impacts among majority European-American culture and historical waves of immigration of various different Latino groups, and other minority groups in the U.S., including assimilation, resistance, and acculturation. Particular attention will be paid to cultural, social, and historical contributions of groups within the Latino/Chicano collective, and how Latino/Chicano groups have been viewed in relation to African-Americans, Native Americans, and Asian-Pacific Americans over time.
