PLTC 219 - Social Movements in Latin America

Institution:

Bates College

Subject:

Description:

Social movements have often played key roles in Latin American politics. In the 1980s, grassroots movements against dictatorships raised hopes that poor and marginalized groups might spur processes of democratization. In the new democratic regimes, however, many social movements faded away, even though great social and economic inequalities persisted. This course examines specific cases to analyze the emergence and retreat of social movements, and the role of ideology, identity, and context. Recommended background: Politics 122 and 249. Not open to students who have received credit for Political Science 219. Enrollment limited to 30. Staff.
