This SPAN 285 (taught in English) course will provide an introduction to Latinx works of literature and cultures in the United States from the 1820s to the present, paying close attention to the historical and social events that have influenced the construction of U.S. Latinx identities.

Through the examination of canonical texts produced by Chicanos, Mexican-Americans, and Hispanic Caribbean authors, we will analyze questions of racial, ethnic, religious and cultural identities in conversation with current theoretical concepts. These concepts include Diaspora, border identities, oppositional consciousness, strategic essentialism, imagined communities, code-switching, tropicalization, and double-consciousness.

Although the weather is great now, it is supposed to begin raining over Thanksgiving break. If you aren’t riding your bike much, please take it home over Thanksgiving and bring it back during spring break when the weather improves.

If you decide to keep it on campus, put it in your dorm room or apartment over breaks to avoid potential theft, and always keep it locked, preferably with a U-lock!

Thank you,
– Campus Public Safety Office
