CH ST 155 - Latinidades
What it means to be Latina/o/x varies not only based on class, nationality, and citizenship status but also on race and ethnicity. This undergraduate seminar interrogates Latinidad as a historical, political, and racial project. Students will trace the origins of Hispanic and Latina/o/x identities to the settler logics from which they emerged, particularly those that rely on the erasure of Indigenous and Afro-descendent populations. Special attention will be placed on how race and racism manifest in the material conditions and lived experiences of Indigenous, Afro-Indigenous, Afro/Black Latinxs.
