ANT 377 - Immigrants, Exiles, Refugees, and Transnational Communities (3 cr.)

This course explores the global forces that are driving contemporary movements of people across international borders and the transnational communities that result. anthropological case studies from Latin America, the United States, Canada, Europe, Africa, and Asia provide students with a critical understanding of the qualitative experiences of transnational and forced migration, or displacement, on origin, and countries of settlement. The course will consider the social, cultural, political, and economic contexts in which the population movements occur, as well as the complex cultural and political processes associated with integration, assimilation, alienation, deportation, and repatriation.
