Course Catalog Description:
Demographic realities, political/economic shifts, cultural exchanges that characterize U.S.-Mexico borderland spaces in global economy. Historically contextualized, transnational approach to cultures, politics, and economics of U.S.-Mexico Borderlands. Dynamics of borderland spaces.
Class Description:
?The U.S.-Mexican border es una herida abierta (is an open wound) where the Third World grates against the first and bleeds. And before a scab forms it hemorrhages again, the lifeblood of two worlds merging to form a third country?a border culture.? --Gloria Anzaldua, Borderlands/La Frontera. The words of scholar activist Gloria Anzaldua underscore the long history of cultural clashes, political inequalities, economic competition, and social struggle in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands. Blurring the line between American, Chicano and Latin American Studies, we will take Anzaldua's observations as a starting point to explore the conflict-ridden and violent historical development of the U.S.-Mexico border, the related political and economic dynamics of transnationalism and the cultural and social expressions exerted by people living in the borderlands. By exploring issues such as conquest, racial violence, immigration, border policing, and the exchange of everything from culture to contraband, students examine how people and communities sought to create notions of belonging in their rapidly changing position between the first and third world. Such solutions included hybrid cultural expressions, cross-border community formation, ethno-racial politics, and transnational identities. By employing an interdisciplinary approach including history, folklore, literary studies, ethnography, and policy analysis we will seek to identify the many ways borders and borderlands have been conceived to engage significant debates about the U.S.-Mexico border and the transnational world in which we live.

Demographic realities, political/economic shifts, cultural exchanges that characterize U.S.-Mexico borderland spaces in global economy. Historically contextualized, transnational approach to cultures, politics, and economics of U.S.-Mexico Borderlands. Dnamics of borderland spaces.
Class Description:
The course will focus on the U.S./Mexico border as a site of personal, cultural, and political tension?a militarized contact zone in which identity is continually negotiated and reconstructed along ethnic and national lines. Topics covered will include the ongoing femicide in Juarez and its connection to globalization, current and historical immigration debates, the effects of the physical U.S./Mexico border on indigenous communities, Chicana feminist theories of cultural hybridity (i.e. mestizaje), and transnational cultural exchanges in film, music, literature, and art. We will be reading 2 novels, assorted articles, and Gloria Anzaldua's seminal text, Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza, as well as various popular culture texts (i.e.: films, music, television shows, etc.).
