    Description
    The course is an introductory inter-disciplinary study of the field of critical Chicana/o Studies. It examines race, racial formations, gender, ethnicity and culture, in relation to Chicana/o and Latina/o communities and their social justice movements and struggles. The course provides a basis for better understanding of ethnic studies concepts including the intersection of the socio-economic, cultural, and political conditions among Chicanas/os / Latinas/os and other minority groups through historical consideration of the creation and development of critical Ethnic Studies disciplines and academic programs in the United States.
