The US-Mexico border has been since its very inception a site of contested history and meaning. Through the lens of Chicana Feminism, this course will investigate representations of the border from the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo to Trumpian calls for a multi-billion dollar wall. We will explore multiple forms of social artistry in the borderlands, including corridos, poetry, performance art, and muralism. This exploration will not only reveal realities often hidden in public debates on il/legality and im/migration, but also how border communities operate as agents of change, transformation, and resistance. |
