Course Description:
The United States has long been considered a “Nation of Immigrants.” According to 2009 American Community Survey estimates, about one in eight U.S. residents are foreign-born. These racially diverse immigrants come from all over the world to the United States for a variety of reasons, but most seek a better life for themselves and their families. However, some groups encounter significant challenges to achieving the “American dream.” This course will examine the political, social, and economic factors that contribute to the unequal incorporation of immigrant groups from different parts of the world. It will also explore how immigrants and their children have mobilized to secure rights and equal opportunities. Particular attention will be paid to the experiences of immigrants in Los Angeles and New York, the two metropolitan areas with the largest foreign-born populations.
Requirements:
Lecture and section participation. Students will be required to arrive on time for and participate in all lectures and section meetings. Most lectures will include time for student discussion. Any in-class writing assignments will be included in lecture or section participation grades. Cell phones and other personal electronic devices must be turned off during lecture and section meetings. The instructor and TA reserve the right to confiscate visible personal electronic devices during class. Laptops may be used in class for note-taking purposes only. Students caught using laptops for other purposes will lose classroom participation credit.
