What does it mean to be Latina/o/e/x? What significance or meaning does 'Latinidad' hold in 2024? In this course we will explore the colonial and imperial relations that have fueled migration from countries across the Americas to the United States, as well as the distinct experiences and geographies of Latinx peoples in the US. To make sense of Latinx presence in this country, we must first think historically and transnationally to understand the US's role as an imperial power throughout the Americas. Together we will read foundational texts of Latinx studies, as well as feminist, queer, Afro and Indigenous Latinx writings and critiques to disentangle how the "Latino/a/e/x" identity exists in relation to other identities within the US national project. Additionally, we will develop a political economic analysis of structural and urban inequalities that Latinx communities have faced, and trace the emergence of Latinx social movements and political struggles. We will ruminate on the sights, sounds and tastes of Latinx cultural production, and analyze the role of art in Latinx political imaginings. Lastly, we will spend time in the Stanford archives learning about local Latinx political movements, and consider what liberatory movements are emerging from Latinx communities at present.

This course serves as an introductory exploration of writings by Latinx authors in the United States, highlighting the shared and distinct experiences among various Latinx communities. We will concentrate on literary production of the four major U.S. Latinx groups: Mexican Americans (Chicanos), Puerto Ricans (Nuyoricans), Dominican Americans, and Cuban Americans, spanning the 20th and 21st centuries. Through critical examination of fiction and poetry, the course delves into key themes and issues that shape the cultural expression of these communities. Discussion topics will include identity formation and negotiation regarding language, race, gender, sexuality, and class; the colonial subject; diaspora; and emigration, among other relevant subjects.

( History 73 is 3 units; History 173 is 5 units.) This course is an introduction to the history of Mexican migration to the United States. Barraged with anti-immigrant rhetoric and calls for bigger walls and more restrictive laws, few people in the United States truly understand the historical trends that shape migratory processes, or the multifaceted role played by both US officials and employers in encouraging Mexicans to migrate north. Moreover, few have actually heard the voices and perspectives of migrants themselves. This course seeks to provide students with the opportunity to place migrants' experiences in dialogue with migratory laws as well as the knowledge to embed current understandings of Latin American migration in their meaningful historical context.
