1. History of Mexico (LAC/HIS 268)
This survey covers the major themes in Mexican history: the rise and decline of pre-Columbian civilizations; impact of the Spanish Conquest; the Spanish colonial period in New Spain; nineteenth-century independence; the rise of the Republic; the Mexican Revolution; dictatorship and one-party democracy; the political, cultural, and economic relationship between Mexico and the United States.

2. History of Latinos in the U.S. (LPR 269/His 250)
This survey covers the history of Latinos and their communities in the U.S.–including among others Mexican Americans, Cuban Americans, Puerto Ricans, and Dominican Americans–from the early roots to the twenty-first century. Focuses on twentieth-century experiences of the various Latin American-origin immigrants and exiles in “gateway cities” such as Los Angeles, New York, Miami, and Chicago. Readings, lectures, and discussions explore historical and contemporary immigration patterns (including the homeland), institutional growth, and the importance of work, culture, and politics. Comparative historical approaches seek to illuminate Latino history within the larger perspectives of U.S. and Latin American history.
