TCL 341: Latino Urban Policy : Welcome

Course Description

This course provides a historical, demographic, and sociological overview of the status of Chicanas and Chicanos in urban settings as well as the public policy relevance. Latinos are the largest minority group in the U.S. With a population of 54 million in 2013, they represent about 17% of the U.S. population. As more Latinos live and work in urban places, they are gradually transforming the social and spatial fabric of American cities and simultaneously changing their own needs, values and aspirations as they interact and adapt to new urban practices and realities.

Statistics

The ASU Library acknowledges the twenty-three Native Nations that have inhabited this land for centuries. Arizona State University's four campuses are located in the Salt River Valley on ancestral territories of Indigenous peoples, including the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Pee Posh (Maricopa) Indian Communities, whose care and keeping of these lands allows us to be here today. ASU Library acknowledges the sovereignty of these nations and seeks to foster an environment of success and possibility for Native American students and patrons. We are advocates for the incorporation of Indigenous knowledge systems and research methodologies within contemporary library practice. ASU Library welcomes members of the Akimel O’odham and Pee Posh, and all Native nations to the Library.
