CCST 120: Chicanx, Latinx & Indigenous Representation


Units: 4

Examines the ways that Chicanx, Latinx, and Indigenous people are represented and represent themselves, through an examination of popular culture, movies, television, and literature. Uses a theoretical lens to understand the impacts of these representations on in-group and out-group members. Explores how the historical trajectories of stereotypes overlap across ethnic groups, and how these stereotypes continue to dramatically and negatively affect social and political realities for Latinxs, Chicanxs, and Indigenous people within U.S. society today. Explores the intersectional identities of Latinx, Chicanx, and Indigenous groups with aspects of class, race, sexuality, and gender, while also exploring diverse cultural arenas and media, among them Hollywood films, art, television, literature, and music.
