The US Mexico border has been since its very inception a site of contested history and meaning. This course will investigate representations of the region from the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo to current calls for a multi-billion dollar wall. Students will explore multiple forms of borderlands social artistry including music, poetry, film, performance art, and muralism. This exploration will not only reveal realities often hidden in public debates on illegality and immigration, but also how border communities operate as agents of change, transformation, and resistance.
