Spanish-speaking people have lived and interacted in territories conforming the present-day U.S. since 1519. Yet some literary critics suggest that Latino Literature emerges during the first contact between Latin American and U.S. citizens in the mid-nineteenth century. This course offers a survey of the literary and cultural production of U.S. Latinas and Latinos in the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries. We will examine the works of major U.S. Latino authors, intellectuals, artists, and activists. As we read these texts, we will explore how U.S. Latinos negotiate their identities taking into account issues of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and citizenship.
