Print: The Chronicle: 8/8/2003: Latino Studies and Black Studies: Bonds and Divergent Paths When placed in ethnic and/or American studies, the weight is placed on Latinos as a minority in the United States; when placed in the Spanish department and/or in Latin-American studies, the suggestion is that Hispanics are an extremity of the Spanish-speaking Americas in El Norte. There was no Latino studies in the '60s because a rubric encompassing various national groups from the Americas was, by and large, inconceivable at that time -- even though the Cuban revolutionary thinker José Martí, everybody's favorite precursor, wrote manifestos on the subject in the 1880s. As in black studies, the intellectual model is interdisciplinary, drawing on a multiplicity of tools used by anthropologists, historians, sociologists, political scientists, literary critics, and cultural-studies specialists. chronicle.com/cgi2-bin/printable.cgi?article=http://chronicle.com/free/v49/i48/48b00701.htm   (2761 words)

Occasional Paper No. 29 The origins of the various Chicano and Puerto Rican Studies programs at that time lay less in a slow evolution of scholarly interests than in the urgent demands of angry students and a few faculty who insisted that universities begin to meet the educational needs of undeserved local Latina/os. Nowhere, however, have the changes been as great as in the way in which sociologists conceptualize the Latino population itself - and especially the poorer members. The study of race and ethnicity has been a major specialty within American sociology for the past century, but in the 60's few sociologists who were not directly involved with Latina/os knew or cared about them. www.jsri.msu.edu /RandS/research/ops/oc29abs.html   (698 words)
