Prerequisite: ANTH 101, SOC 102, or permission of the instructor. This course focuses on the emergence and development of nationalism in Latin America. Readings include works by scholars from across the range of the social sciences, including history, political science, and sociology. The course devotes consideration to the following issues: a variety of explanatory accounts that scholars have provided of why the region turned to nationalism in the early 19th century; the main social and political implications of this transformation of identity; the various competing images of the nation in the region; the question of whether some Latin American nations understand themselves in “civic” and others in “ethnic” terms; the relationship between particularistic Latin American nationalisms and Bolívar’s pan-American dream; and, finally, the nature and roles of nationalism in more recent Latin American politics. Background knowledge of Latin American history is not required. Eastwood.

Prerequisite: ANTH 101, SOC 102, HIST 107, 240, or permission of the instructor. This course explores issues within historic American communities that ethnographers often investigate among living groups, including cultural values, religious ideologies, class structures, kinship networks, gender roles, and interethnic relations. Although the communities of interest in this course ceased to exist generations ago, many of their characteristic dynamics are accessible through such means as archaeology, architectural history, and the study of documents. Case studies include early English settlement in Plymouth, Mass.; the 18th-century plantation world of Virginia and South Carolina; the post-Revolutionary Maine frontier and 19th-century California. Bell.
