Inhalt/e
According to the 2020 census results, Latinxs make up 18.7 % (62.1 million) of the US population. Historically, the field of Latinx/a/o Studies emerged through the development of Chicanx Studies and became an autonomous discipline in the 1970s and 80s. As a discipline, Latinx studies critically examines, amongst others, the histories, cultures, and politics of Latinxs in the United States. In this class, we will critically explore the rich diversity of this field, gaining insight into unique and often neglected perspectives of American identity. We will investigate several important key concepts that inform Latinx Studies, such as immigration, intersectionality, media, literature, politics or narco cultura. Each time, we will consider how these concepts in Latinx Studies are shaped within historical, social, cultural, regional, and global contexts.
