SOC 200H - IMMIGRATION: AMERICAN KALEIDOSCOPE

Credits: Four
Using films, autobiographies, and oral histories, students will examine the phenomenon of U.S. immigration from the perspective of the immigrants themselves. Students will learn about the conditions of the immigrants lives in their native countries, why they left, how they arrived in the United States, what they have experienced, and how they have adapted or are adapting to this society. Students will also explore the contributions that immigrants have made to our culture and the issue of undocumented workers and porous borders. By interviewing immigrants, students will learn the ethnographic technique of collecting life histories and of relating them to the historical and contemporary social context.
