SPAN 334 - Cultures in Contact and Conflict in the Hispanic World

4 credits
This course explores the notions of cultural contact and conflict in several socio-geographic contexts in the Spanish-speaking world including: the U.S.-Mexico border region, indigenous and mestizo communities in Mexico and Central America, and the sociocultural and political influence of the U.S. in Puerto Rico. The course examines the concepts of cultural hybridity, contact and conflict, ethnicity and race, adaptation, and cultural/language contact. Course readings draw on a combination of historical analysis, ethnographic studies, autobiography, fiction, poetry, essays, and film in order explore the many manifestations of contact in these three unique contexts. Prerequisite: SPAN 310  or special permission. CLA-Breadth/Interdisciplinary, CLA-Diversity International, CLA-Writing Intensive
