SoSe 19: Latino Immigrant Politics in the United States
Ana-Constantina Frost
Comments
This seminar will examine the politics of contemporary Latinx immigrants in the United States, with a focus on their transnational political activity. The first part of the seminar will provide an overview of the theories that help us explore population mobility and familiarize students with the developments in the legal framework regulating migration in the United States. We will then turn to the political participation of immigrants. What are the factors that encourage or hinder participation of immigrants in the U.S. political system? Why should we care about the political participation of immigrants? The final part of the course will delve into case studies of key Latinx groups. Why and how did they become engaged politically around homeland issues? What strategies do they use to shape U.S. policy toward their home country? Which branches of government are targeted and why? close
