Description:

This course explores the rich history of popular struggles over resources and identity that have re-shaped Latin America over the last century. Particular attention will be placed upon classic texts by theorists such as Paolo Freire, Juan Carlos Mariategui, Jose Maria Arguedas and Ernesto "Che" Guevara. Issues of gender and sexuality will also be explored using the cultural texts of such writers as Alfonsina Storni, Juana de Ibarborou, Isabelle Allende, and Clarice Lispector. Students will assess these forms of cultural production within the larger historical contexts of social movements, revolutionary fervor, and neo-liberal agendas which have defined the daily landscape of the different American nation-states throughout the twentieth century. 4.000 Credit Hours 3.000 Lecture hours 0.000 Lab hours 0.000 Other hours Levels: Undergraduate, Post Baccalaureate Schedule Types: Lecture Undergraduate Colleges College Sociology and Anthropology Department
