This course introduces the major concepts, issues and debates currently found in the fields of Latino studies and Latin American studies. It also provides an overview of regional geographies, national demographic profiles and the various socio-economic conditions characteristic of contemporary Latin America. The course includes study of the main demographic features of the diverse Latino communities in the United States today, a comparison of each group’s unique immigration and settlement patterns, and an investigation of adaptive and resistant Latino cultural practices. For an additional credit hour, students complete 20 hours of service to the Chicago-area Latino community, along with service learning assignments.
