SPN 3029Latino Communities in New York State3
The increasing proportion of Latinos in the U.S. population consti- tutes one of the most dramatic demographic changes ever recorded in America. According to the U.S. Census, in 2006 more that three million persons of Hispanic or Latino origin lived in NYS (16.3%). Latino immigrants, now reside in both urban and suburban commu- nities throughout the state. The number of this “ethnic minority” is growing about four times as fast as the rest of the population. This class will study specific cultural, economic, social, and political issues concerning the diverse Latino communities living in New York. The main objective of the course will be to provide students with and understanding of the Latinos' complex social experience in a mul- ti-racial and culturally heterogeneous society. Discussion will focus on the variable adaptations made by Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, Domini- cans, Cubans, Colombians, and other Latinos in their migration and settlement in New York.

cr.) This course, taught entirely in Spanish, is designed to give students an understanding and appreciation for one of the most unique icons in literary history, the one time “master of the Argentine Pampa” - the gaucho. This much misunderstood figure, a kind of “John Wayne” of the South-American plains that stretched from Buenos Aires into Uruguay, played an important role in Argentine and Latin American history, but has also become the stuff of legend, appearing, one way or another,in a great deal of Latin American literature. He is there- fore, important both as a historical and a cultural figure. Through their readings of drama and poetry featuring the gaucho, students will have a chance to hone their interpretive skills, while also being exposed to a wealth of new Spanish vocabulary, which they will use in oral presentations and writing assignments.

SPN 3051Latin American Identity: History, Culture &
Songs (3 cr.) Throughout history, societies have found different ways to record important events, and to describe their culture to present and future generations. Music has served as a vehicle to communicate feelings and to describe the most important historical events of a given society. This course will look at cultural themes and at certain contemporary historical events in Latin America, as recorded by popular songwriters and singers. This course will explore many cultural themes including: slavery, racism, migration, romance, religion, death, role of women, and poverty in Latin America. We will discuss many important contemporary historical events such as: The Mexican Revolution, The Cuban Revolution, The Great Depression and its effects in Puerto Rico, Slave Revolts, Civil wars in Central America, Deforestation in Brazil-Chico Mendez, The struggle of the Farm Workers-Cesar Chavez, etc. Each topic and/or event will be reviewed and discussed, through the use of the main textbook and other supporting literature. Students will also be exposed to song(s) written in reference to teach specific historical events or cultural themes. Every topic will be linked to specific songs, in order to provide students with the opportunity to gain a better understanding of the a topics covered in the class. Students will be able to link history, culture, and songs which will help them discover the connection among history, culture, and music in the region. There will be class discussions, a short paper presentation, as well as a final exam or project.

This course, taught entirely in Spanish, is designed to give students an understanding and appreciation for one of the most unique icons in literary history, the one time master of the Argentine Pampa - the gaucho. This much misunderstood figure, a kind of John Wayne of the South-American plains that stretched from Buenos Aires into Uruguay, played an important role in Argentine and Latin American history, but has also become the stuff of legend, appearing, one way or another,in a great deal of Latin American literature. He is therefore, important both as a historical and a cultural figure. Through their readings of drama and poetry featuring the gaucho, students will have a chance to hone their interpretive skills, while also being exposed to a wealth of new Spanish vocabulary, which they will use in oral presentations and writing assignments.

SPN 5051Latin American Identity: History Culture and
Songs (3 cr.) Throughout history, societies have found different ways to record important events, and to describe their culture to present and future generations. Music has served as a vehicle to communicate feelings and to describe the most important historical events of a given society. This course will look at cultural themes and at certain contemporary his- torical events in Latin America, as recorded by popular songwriters and singers. This course will explore many cultural themes including: slav- ery, racism, migration, romance, religion, death, role of women, and poverty in Latin America. We will discuss many important contem- porary historical events such as: The Mexican Revolution, The Cuban Revolution, The Great Depression and its effects in Puerto Rico, Slave Revolts, Civil wars in Central America, Deforestation in Brazil-Chico Mendez, The struggle of the Farm Workers-Cesar Chavez, etc. Each topic and/or event will be reviewed and discussed, through the use of the main textbook and other supporting literature. Students will also be exposed to song(s) written in reference to teach specific historical events or cultural themes. Every topic will be linked to specific songs, in order to provide students with the opportunity to gain a better under- standing of the topics covered in the class. Students will be able to link history, culture, and songs which will help them discover the connec- tion among history, culture, and music in the region. There will be class discussions, a short paper presentation, as well as a final exam or pro- ject.
