Course: CHS 362. Contemporary Indigenous Migrations and Diasporas (3)
Prerequisite: Completion of the lower division writing requirement. Recommended Preparatory: CHS 364. This course provides an interdisciplinary approach to critically understanding indigeneity in Latin American communities as well as contemporary Indigenous migration movements from Latin America to the United States. Students examine varied theoretical frameworks as well as specific case studies of Indigenous diasporic communities from Latin America residing in the U.S. to better understand their migrations, forced displacements and dispossession. Throughout the course we will explore the ways coloniality, settler colonialism, race/ethnicity, class, gender and sexuality inform the experiences of Indigenous peoples in the Americas. Meets the Ethnic Studies requirement. (Available for General Education, D1 Social Sciences.) (ES) (WI)
