1 City College of San Francisco Latin American and Latino/a Studies LALS 1 Latino/a Diaspora: The Impact of Latinos Living in the United States TR 8:10-9:25AM Prof. Marco Mojica Office Hours: 10-11AM (MWF) (415) Office: Sci. Bldg mmojica@ccsf.edu Introduction This course examines the central dimensions of the political, historical, social and cultural realities of Latinas/os in the United States. You will learn about how past and present historical processes such as: conquests, migrations, assimilation/acculturation, social struggles, globalization and transnationalism have shaped the lives of Latinas/os. Furthermore, this course explores how the intersecting relations of race, class, gender and ethnicity have defined the experiences of Latinos/as in the United States; looking at inter-group relations (i.e African American-Latino), and intra-group problems. Throughout the course questions of citizenship and political participation, education and empowerment will be addressed. Educational Philosophy My educational philosophy focuses on strengthening the students' abilities to critically analyze their world and to become active and engaged participants in their education. In the classroom, I promote the idea of a "learning community," a safe space where students can share their ideas, opinions and life histories as important to enriching the community's knowledge. Furthermore, students are asked to work individually and collaboratively in the classroom, as forms of learning and processing the course materials and their overall educational experience. Finally, my goal is to provide students with important tools necessary for enabling their success at the City College of San Francisco, the University and beyond... Major Learning Outcomes Upon completion of this course a student will be able to: A. Examine the Indigenous, African, Asian and European roots of Latin American cultures present in U.S. Latino/a communities. B. Examine the demographic, social, cultural and ethnic diversity represented by the terms "Latino," "Hispanic." "Chicano/a," and "Raza." C. Examine the policies of the United States government which impacted immigrant communities from Latin America. D. Analyze the historical changes in the nature of the Latino experience across three major periods: the pre-columbian, the Spanish Colonial experience in the Southwest, and the emergence of the United States as a continental power. E. Analyze the history of Latin American immigration to the U.S. and its social, economic, cultural and political impact on U.S. institutions (education, immigration law, labor law, naturalization processes, the welfare and criminal system, voting and elections). F. Compare historical changes in population ratios and patterns of immigration to the U.S. from Latin American nations from 1500s to present day. G. Examine the various motives and contributing factors (eg. Law, social networks, U.S. foreign policy) to the immigration of Latin Americans to the U.S. and how these factors impact their choice of destination. H. Compare selected aspects of the Latino/a cultural history to other non-white minorities since the eighteenth century (eg. Citizenship, voting rights, land rights, social welfare rights). I. Examine the issues around race, class, gender and ethnicity within the Latino/a communities in the U.S. J. Compare and contrast cultural values and class differences within various Latino communities. K. Compare patterns of cultural retention, acculturation and assimilation (including language, religion and gender roles) in different Latino communities. L. Analyze inter-generational conflict, relationship to "home" countries, their impact on several Latino communities and impact on U.S domestic politics. M. Evaluate the Latino communities' cultural contributions to the U.S. and their impact on popular culture in areas such as sports, art, music, food, religious festivals and commemorated 'holy' days. N. Describe issues related to social mobility, occupational strategies and educational opportunities in the U.S. O. Examine the evolution of national, racial and ethnic conflicts within and between Latino and non- Latino groups in the US through an emphasis on social movements. 1

2 P. Examine Latino/a social history, professional development and institutional organization of the field of Latino/a, Chicano/a and Raza Studies. Q. Compare the offerings of the Latin American and Latino/a Studies Department to Latino/Raza/Chicano departments at other Bay Area educational institutions. LALS 1 meets graduation requirements for United States History, Social Science, Ethnic Studies (H1). Also, it is accepted as a Humanities requirement at UC and CSU. This is a university level course accepted at the UC and State University systems. Required Text LALS 1 Reader: Latino/a Diaspora: The Impact of Latinos Living in the United States. It can be obtained at Copy Edge Ocean Avenue. (415) The reader is to be used as a base for lectures and discussion. If you want to succeed in this class, it is in your best interest to read the text. The text will be supplemented by other reading materials such as essays, newspaper articles and films. You will be expected to reference these materials in the exams. Attendance It is crucial that you do not miss class since lectures are important for your success. Excessive absence results in an excessive drop in your grade. If you wish to withdraw, the responsibility for doing so is entirely yours, and you must do so before the final withdrawal date: April 18, Do not assume that I will automatically withdraw you if you stop showing up. Classroom Etiquette Please turn off and put away all electronic devices during class. Cell phone conversations, text messaging, and/or listening to music during class time will not be tolerated. You will be warned the first time you are found to be using these devices. If you persist in your use of these devices thereafter, you will be expelled from the class. Course Evaluations Evaluation will be based on three collective exercises and two exams. This is a noncompetitive class! There is no reason not to earn an A or a B in this course. Midterm and Final Exam The midterm exam will be a collective exercise where you and a partner will define course terminology in short paragraph answers. If you miss the midterm exam and do not give me a legitimate excuse the class meeting after the exam date, you will not be allowed to do a make up exam and automatically fail the midterm exam. The final exam will be a 3-5 page essay where students will be asked to reflect and analyze a question provided by the instructor. Collective Exercises You will work in a group to answer a question or a set of questions posed by the instructor. There are no make ups for the exercises.
