LATI 387 - Latinx in the Midwest

Cross-Listed as AMST 387 and SPAN 387

This course uses literature, film, and scholarly works to explore the Latinx experience in the Midwest. We will examine how this population creates and sustains community, constructs their own sense of Latinidad, and how that identity and its cultural practices are informed by and impact the region. Events involving the Twin Cities’ Latinx communities will enrich our learning and discussions. This course satisfies the Area 2 requirement of the Spanish major. Prerequisite(s): SPAN 308 Alternate years. (4 Credits)
