AMST798B

Cross-listed with SPAN798B. This seminar focuses on LatinX Diasporas in the United States in the 20th Century. We will study representative Latinx and critical literature in relation to decolonization/decoloniality, hispanicity, borders, violence, post/memory, among other topics. In recent decades, immigration from Latin America, the Caribbean, and Spain, and Latinx migrations across the United States have vastly diversified, translocalized, and complicated Latinx discourses, making the X the sign of the times. This course seeks to examine the field through interdisciplinary and intersectional critical lenses. Readings mostly in English; discussions and writing in Spanish or English.
