desiny15Latinos: the question of Pan-ethnicity
How new pan-ethnic identities are formed? How Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, Dominicans and other Latino sub-groups develop a new identity that is different to their "national identities"? This is the writing assignment that you are expected to do for this learning unit. You will write a 500 words (OR MORE) message addressing these questions:
After viewing the video clip:
"Who is a Chicano?"( https://youtu.be/2QBtp5jrl-I),
reading the book chapter 9: (https://archive.org/stream/RichardT.SchaeferRacialAndEthnicGroups14thEditionGlobalEditionPrintReplicaKindleEdition/%5BRichard%20T.%20Schaefer%5D%20Racial%20and%20Ethnic%20Groups%2014th%20Edition%20Global%20Edition%20%5BPrint%20Replica%5D%20Kindle%20Edition#page/n31/mode/2up) and the three short articles:
· "At the Crossroads, Latinos in the New Millennium" by Rubén Martínez
o http://www.pbs.org/americanfamily/latino1.html
· "Is There Such a Thing as Latino Identity?" by Otto Santa Ana
o http://www.pbs.org/americanfamily/latino2.html
· "What It Means to Be Latino" by Clara Rodríguez
o http://www.pbs.org/americanfamily/latino3.html
After reading these materials you are expected to answer these questions:
What cultural elements seem to "unite" Latinos living in the US? Do Latinos constitute a pan-ethnic group or are they too diverse to be a united group of people? In your posting you need to compare and discuss the views of Rubén Martínez, Otto Santa Ana and Clara Rodríguez. In addition, I would like to hear your opinion about the video clip "Who is a Chicano?."
