    Description
    54 hours lecture per term. This course surveys the Chicana/o experience from the U.S.–Mexico War (1848) through the present, emphasizing the political, social, and cultural roles of Chicanx communities in U.S. society. Students analyze history through Chicana/o Studies and Ethnic Studies frameworks, including internal colonialism (Barrera), Borderlands theory (Anzaldúa), Chicana feminist thought (Moraga, Sandoval, Pérez), decolonial theory, and critical Latinx indigeneities. Topics include the aftermath of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo; U.S. racialization and dispossession of Mexicans; immigration, labor, and education struggles; Mexican American participation in World Wars and Cold War America; the Chicano Movement and El Plan de Aztlán; Chicana feminist critiques of nationalism, sexism, and heteronormativity; the Chicano Renaissance; immigration reform and border militarization; and contemporary struggles for racial justice, immigrant rights, and decolonization. Students will also analyze cultural and philosophical works such as corridos, oral traditions, Chicana feminist writings, and Chicano Renaissance art as central to understanding identity, resistance, and the human condition.
