SLD 113 - Chicano/Latino Leadership 3: Affirmation and Resistance |
This class will examine the impact of La Leyenda Negra (The Black Legend), Manifest Destiny and negative images assigned to Spanish/Mexican and Latino culture in the United States and Latin America. In addition, this class will provide a critical examination of Chicano/Latino cultural expressions in the public discourse with a focus on cultural/ethnic celebrations. We will explore the production of Chicano/Latino culture and cultural celebrations (e.g. Cinco de Mayo) via mainstream popular culture and culture produced by and for Chicano/Latinos. A theory of transformation model will be a guiding theme of the class as students will be challenged to create a leadership that will transform the condition of the Chicano/Latino community.
