CMLT 134 - Latino Literature and Media Arts


Explores the variety of expressions of Latino identity as a hybrid formation within U.S. culture.

It is a culture of migration, assimilation, resistance to the melting pot, as well as a unique expression of a new ethnicity in formation. Features Puerto Rican, Cuban-American, Mexican-American, Dominican-American and other cultural products. Not offered to first-year students. Conducted in English.
