    Description
    This course is an introductory survey of Mexican American experience in the United States. The course examines the political, economic, historical, social, and cultural aspects influencing these groups' advances, contributions, and adaptations to U.S. society. A theoretical examination of critical events in histories, cultural advances, and intellectual traditions of Mexican Americans are central elements of the course, with emphasis on agency and group-affirmation particularly relevant. Furthermore, this course explores the micro-social and structural aspects of Mexican American culture, including, identity formation, gender roles, education, and interactions within the dominant culture.
