CHICANO PERSPECTIVES

I also teach two sections of US History Chicano Perspectives at Cuyamaca College. History 118 and 119 both fulfill the Cultural Diversity Requirements and satisfy completion of Ethnic Studies 118 and 119.

We are hoping to offer this course, Chicano Perspectives, at Miramar College.

History 118 / Ethnic Studies 118

Historical survey of Mexican Americans in the United States in which attention is given to social, political and economic background, with an emphasis on the origins of basic American institutions and ideals. Particular emphasis on the development of Spanish-speaking peoples’ economic, social, political, and racialized experience in the United States, especially in the Southwest from the pre-contact period to the Mexican American War. Also listed as ETHN 118. Not open to students with credit in ETHN 118.

History 119 / Ethnic Studies 119

Historical survey of Mexican Americans in the United States in which attention is given to the social, political, and economic background, including explorations of the U.S. and California constitutions and interactions between federal, state, and local governments.
