ANTH 3350 Latina Testimonies: Ethnographies, Memoirs and Poetry


This course is an introduction to the similarities and differences in migration/annexation/colonization and consequential social status informing the experience of Latinas in the United States. Special attention will be paid to subjectivity and representation by social signifiers such as gender, race, class and sexualities. While the course title assumes a panethnic label, the course will explore the complex diversity of women who trace their ancestry to geographical areas including Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Colombia, Peru, etc. Since Latina women have many histories, cultures, and experiences, we will explore similarities and differences across geography, culture, ethnicity, class, sexuality and generation Cross Listed Course(s): WGS 3350   LAS 3360
