PSCI 221 - Latino Politics4 credits Introduces the experiences of Latinos as the largest minority group in the United States and how they are situated in the political process. Analyzes how Latinos have come to be seen as an important political constituency but they also remain a group that is portrayed as an outsider in contentious political debates on immigration. Using a multidisciplinary approach, it explores the political, social, and cultural practices of Latinos. Students will have an opportunity to engage with theoretical questions pertaining to ethnicity and race and examine the extent to which “Latino”, “Hispanic”, or “Latinx” are meaningful political terms. It analyzes distinct historical experiences and political behavior of different Latino national origin groups and the ways in which they view themselves and are able to shape the political process.
