Los Angeles, California — Since 1988, Americans have been observing National Hispanic Heritage
Month annually from September 15 to October 15 by celebrating the cultures, histories and
contributions of Americans whose ancestors came from Mexico, Spain, the Caribbean, and
Central and South America. The California State University at Los Angeles is now celebrating the
50th anniversary of the Chicana(o) and Latina(o) Studies department.
Cal State LA’s program was founded in 1968 when ethnic studies courses first started at American
universities and expanded as a discipline. It presented a different approach to teaching history by
focusing on one ethnic group and its relationship to the rest of the United States, instead of the
previously Eurocentric approach to American history.

洛杉磯 加里福尼亞州 — 從1988年至今 ，美國人在每年的9月15日到10月15日之間，舉行「西班牙語
裔傳統月」活動，歡慶先民來自墨西哥、西班牙、加勒比海、中美洲、南美洲的移民的文化、歷史和貢
獻。而洛杉磯加州州立大學的墨西哥裔暨拉丁裔研究系，今年則慶祝五十歲的生日。
洛杉磯加州州立大學是於1968年率先立項，當時「族裔研究」的課程剛在全美校園出現，日後才終於發
展成為一門正式學問。這項研究採行一種與往昔不同的方法進行歷史教學，主要集中探討一個特定族
裔，以及它和美國的關係。過去的美國歷史教學，偏重以歐洲本位觀念看待族裔的存在。
