HIS 368 Latinx Communities in the United States
This course explores the concept of community among Latinos/as in the United States in the twentieth century. Were Latino/a communities physical sites in which various groups lived and worked, or were they shared ideas about a group’s origin and its future? Did Latino/a communities form exclusively around concepts of national origins and ancestries, or were there multiple layers of identity and belonging? Were Latino/a communities defined by their intra-group interactions or by their relationships to other groups and the physical spaces they shared?
