Students examine the historical and political causes driving the migration of particular Hispanic groups. Class readings, discussions and assignments center on migration through the lenses of identity, education, language, faith, and family. Students should be prepared to complete advanced-level readings in Spanish and participate fully in class discussions in Spanish.
