Chicano studies, also known as Chicano/a studies, Chican@ studies, or Xicano studies originates from the Chicano Movement of the late 1960s and 1970s, and is the study of the Chicano and Latino experience.[1][2] Chicano studies draws upon a variety of fields, including history, sociology, the arts, and Chicano literature.[3] The area of studies additionally emphasizes the importance of Chicano educational materials taught by Chicano educators for Chicano students.[3]
In many universities across the United States, Chicano studies is linked with other ethnic studies, such as black studies, Asian American studies, and Native American studies. Many students who have studied anthropology have also been involved in varying degrees of Chicano studies.[4] Today, most major universities in areas of high Chicano concentration have a formal Chicano/a studies department or interdisciplinary program.[2] Providing Chicano studies to Chicano students has helped these students find a community which offers a curriculum that is unique to their own heritage.[5]
