Course Description: The course will examine the historical development of the Mexican community in the United States. The Mexican historical experience will be presented within the context of U.S. and Mexico history. The objective will be to describe and explain time and place specific variations in the socio-cultural incorporation of the Mexican community, as a national minority and bottom segment of the working class. The course will address change and continuity as we give emphasis to the themes of racialized social relations; work; migration; community and diplomatic trans-border relations; social struggles; constructed group identities; and the process of historical production.
