Expanded Course Description
One in eight Oregonians and one in six people in the United States identify themselves as “Hispanic/Latino” on the U.S. Census. This course introduces students to the historical experiences of Latino/a groups, with an emphasis on Mexican and Caribbean migrations to the United States. Themes include race, migration, identity, labor, politics, colonialism, and culture. The class employs an innovative bilingual pedagogy: Lectures will be primarily in English, but with language-switching and “simultaneous translation” in Spanish. Regular course readings will be in English, but students will analyze original documents from Latino history in Spanish. They will receive explicit in-class instruction in strategies such as use of context, logical thinking, and multiple readings to deepen their understanding of a Spanish-language text – even one they do not understand at first. As a result, even students with limited Spanish skills will come to understand Latino history in part through its original documents. Requirement: Two years of high school or one year of university Spanish, or grew up in a bilingual household.
