It attempts to de-center the nation-state, while also recognizing the ways that governments have played a role in repressing Indigenous Peoples.

CHST189 . Batz G A Month Ago

Prof Batz is an entertaining lecturer and fair grader. There were quite a lot of weekly assignments, but they were mostly graded on completion. Took for my ethnicity requirement and I'm glad I did! Easy A

CHST189 . Batz G 2 Years Ago

One of the best Chicano classes I've taken so far! Professor Batz implements in-class group quizzes, 2 major essays, weekly forum posts, and 3-4 individual assignments. Lot of reading but he does summarize in class.

I love Dr. Batz. Really seemed to care about his students, and provided clear guidelines on how he was grading. Two essays and weekly forum posts, but reading is interesting so it doesn't feel like homework. Love this professor and hope to take another course by him in the future.
