Latin Asians: Ethnicity, Race, and Immigration in Latin America

Author: Alisha Davis

Seminar: Asian Americans in U.S. Schools

In this unit, students will reflect on their established beliefs on the belonging of non-European descended people within the Latin American community. Through the lens of race, ethnicity, and immigration, students will examine the experiences of East, South, and Southeast Asian immigrants and diaspora in Latin American countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Cuba, Mexico, and Peru. Through access to primary sources, documentaries, and artwork, students will be able to practice their critical thinking, evaluation, analysis, and research skills throughout the unit. Students will also have opportunities to participate in student-led discussions, create artwork that reflects the intersection of their identities, and engage with their peers in order to challenge limited views of belonging in the Latin American community. The latter activity will be reflected during an engagement campaign where students can plan advisory activities, create hallway posters, and use social media in order to inform their classmates during Hispanic Heritage Month.
