LAS 289 - Multicultural Chicago3 hours
The city of Chicago provides a stimulating topic of study in relation to the seminar theme of diversity, culture and community. This course will focus on the cultures and histories of various ethnic and racial groups in Chicago. Topics we may consider include: African American migration to and settlement in Chicago; the Italian American community in the city and suburbs; the different ethnic and national groups, such as Mexican Americans and Puerto Ricans, that make up Latino/a Chicago; and the formation of Chinatown. We will consider differences of gender, class and sexuality within these communities and their contact and conflict with other groups. Texts from different disciplinary perspectives and selected works of literature will help us better understand the cultural complexity of this diverse city.
This course will satisfy the multicultural core requirement.
