ETHS 4400 - Socio-political Experiences of Chicanas/os

(3 Units) Course examines the socio-political history of resistance by Chicanos/as in the U.S. This will include ethnic, racial, class, gender oppression and other forms of domination and othering. Focus will be on both the formal and informal avenues through which these groups have organized themselves and protested injustice and inequality. Some attention will be given to analyzing Chicanos/as coalitions with Asian Americans, Native Americans, and African Americans in their struggle for justice and equality. The course will explore how their struggles restate, and remind our society of its most cherished values, universal freedom and social justice, the extent to which all peoples in the U.S. are treated in respect to these values and more fully participate in civil society.
