    Description
    This interdisciplinary course presents a survey of Mexican/Mexican-American people in the context of U.S. history. The course begins with the U.S. declaration of war on Mexico in 1846 and goes on to examine Mexican-American struggles for integration, liberation, self-determination, and decolonization. This course provides a historical context to understand contemporary issues that impact Chicana/o/x communities.
