Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2330 The insurgent projects of Ethnic Studies and Chicana/o Studies during the 1960s/1970s questioned the ethnographic authority of anthropologists and sociologists in the United States and abroad. Beginning with a brief historical overview of Mexican American women in the U.S. we will consider the emergence of Chicana feminism and examine the genesis of the term, "Chicana" as it was developed and used during El Movimiento in the early 1970’s. Then move into contemporary ethnographic explorations of identity including race, regional difference, and community organizing. Course participants will gain the ability to recognize the interplay of social processes on the development of identity, especially within U.S. cultural institutions. We will focus on what makes Chicana ethnography unique to other forms of ethnographic writings? What methodological and technological tools are used by Chicana ethnographers? What are the politics in conducting ethnographic research?; Prerequisite(s): Introduction to Anthropology or consent of instructor Social Science (SO) |
