SPAN 153 PO -Spanglish in Context

Institution: Pomona

Description: What, exactly is “Spanglish,” and who has the right to use it? How does this designation serve individuals as both a means of suppression and a practice of resistance? In this course we will investigate Spanish-English bilingualism in the U.S., focusing on empirical data from multiple theoretical perspectives: sociolinguistic, anthropological, political and literary. Prerequisite: SPAN 101 PO.
