This course and program is aimed at students who will attend in the second sem. of 2023.

*Title of the course: Migrazione, frontiera e identità. I latinos negli Stati Uniti.

Latinos in the United States are historically, culturally and socially different from other minority groups. This study deals with the life of Latinos in theUnited States, their difficult migration, border issues, their dual identity and their language.

The course will start in the 1st sem. 2022 with the tutor (Grammar: Dr. Fioritti), and will go on in the 2nd sem. (2023), with the tutor dr. Brandani (Grammar) and Prof. Betti (the tutors will indicate the starting date during the lesson). It will address a topical issue concerning aspects related to the Spanish language and Latinos in the United States. In fact, Latinos in the United States are a different historical, cultural and social reality than that of other minorities. During the course we will make some reflections on the life of Latinos in the United States, on the difficult migration to the Anglo-Saxon country, the problems related to the border, the language ("hispanofobia"), the dual identity of those who live between two worlds.

 

**To access the Spanish language courses (NOT for beginners) it will be necessary to take a test to be held online at a later date (it is necessary to change the language in the study plan in time, otherwise you will not be able to take the aforementioned test ).
