This page has resources and lesson plans focused on Latinx American Studies.
This course aims to introduce students to the diverse histories and cultures of the Latinx diaspora abroad and in the United States. We will use primary and secondary source materials to explore various aspects of Latinx American Studies including terminology, historical context (influential events and people), geographical and environmental context, cultural context (social organization, language and communication, education, literature and the arts, religion and spirituality, traditions, beliefs and core values, food, etc.), migration, conflict, and identity.
The Mexican American Studies TEKS from the Texas Education Agency specifies historical and cultural points of information related to the diverse communities and cultures of Mexican Americans (to be expanded to other communities and cultures of the Latinx diaspora)
