Yet, in a society that continues to focus on the BlackWhite racial divide, Latinos are often ignored. This course explores the experiences of Latinos from a sociological perspective. Topics include immigration trends, the meaning of race in the construction of Hispanic ethnicity, educational attainment, work, health, media representations, and family life.
