This course examines Latin American migration and mobility across North, Central, and South America as well as the Spanish-speaking Caribbean. Students will explore the routes migrants follow and the cultural roots that end but also extend with them. This requires that we ask questions such as why do people from Latin America decide to move to new places? What happens to them and to the families, places, and environments they leave behind? Who do they meet along the way? What identity changes do immigrants experience in their new destinations? Students will learn about some of the push factors that drive Latin American migrants to leave their countries and the pull factors that draw them to other countries, especially the United States. We will analyze migration as a social, cultural, political, and economic phenomenon and study the mobility of people, ideas, cultures, and capital. Taught in English. The course counts for the Spanish major and minor when the student completes 60% of the work in Spanish.
