HSPST-304/404 Race in Contemporary Spanish culture
This course delves into Spain's transformation into a multiracial nation, catalyzed by the influx of migrants and the growing number of Afro-Spanish artists. Materials include political documents, cultural studies, film, and literature, as we examine migration and multiculturalism in Spain from the mid-1980s to the present day. The course explores shifts in public perception, socioeconomic impacts, and the evolving cultural narratives that have both shaped and been reshaped by immigrant communities. In tackling these topics, we consider the challenges and opportunities arising from Spain's multicultural evolution, focusing on the integration of immigrant populations, the experiences of first-generation immigrants, and the dialogue between diverse identities within the Spanish context.
