(Same as History 287fs) Latin America's inequalities have led to the exclusion of millions of voices from official historical documents. These voices emerge in testimonial literature, a literary genre where scholars create a written account of the "testimonies"of marginalized individuals. The factors that influence the production of testimonial literature will be explored through memory, au- thorship, and first world/third world relations, using I, Rigoberta Menchu: An Indian Woman in Guatemala, and the debates that arose a?er she won the nobel Peace Prize. The class focuses on issues of subjectivity, identity, and discourse analysis as tools for using testimonial literature as a historical source.
