Alex Saragoza Latinos in Contemporary America

This course examines the implications o the largest and growing minority group in America, Latinos (or Hispanics). The increase of immigration from Latin America, combined with the population growth of U.S.-born Latinos has led to a number of issues and questions over the political, economic, social, and cultural repercussions for American society. Taking a broad perspective, this course will address several of the most controversial aspects of this specific minority group and its expanding presence in American life, with particular attention given to California.

He has served as director of the UC Study Center in Mexico, chair of the Center for Latin American Studies, and director of International Educational Programs. He is currently researching tourism in Mexico and Cuba and has led study tours for the California Alumni Association and UC Berkeley Extension.
