History 209b: Modern Latin America From Independence to The Present Course Description History 209b introduces students to modern Latin American history. Throughout the semester we shall examine Latin America from the nineteenth-century demise of Spanish and Portuguese colonialism through the present. Our goal will be to gain a multi-faceted and substantive introduction to modern Latin America. Particular attention will be paid to the interplay of gender, race and class in specific contexts, and we shall examine how social conflict has influenced historical change. As the semester develops and we move into the more recent past, we shall focus on the origins and consequences of political violence, in those areas of Latin America where this is a salient issue. We shall also explore the deepening links between Latin America and the United States in the 19th and 20th centuries, and ponder the future of this relationship. Our course materials will include lectures, historical analysis written by scholars and primary sources asking you to be the historian. History 209b also utilizes visual imagery that records, recreates and questions Latin American history. Although the instructor firmly believes that a consistent narrative helps students process the challenging stream of information they will be exposed to, deviations from the script are welcome as the course is open to our collective wisdom and changing world. My goal is to stimulate discussion and interactive learning, thus students are always encouraged to ask questions. This format provides us with the flexibility to pursue issues of particular concern to students, to work through problems encountered in the assigned readings, and to develop our skills at oral expression. It also requires you to participate wholeheartedly in all phases of the course.

Th 4/27 Concluding class: course evals, review for final. Note: The comprehensive final exam is due by the end of the exam period: Saturday, May 6, 5 p.m. for seniors; and Friday, May 12, 12 noon for everyone else. Those choosing the research option must also turn in their 10-12 pg. papers according to this schedule. Course Requirements There are five course requirements: class participation, a map quiz, a mid-term exam, one 6-8 pg. paper, and a comprehensive final exam or a 10-12 pg. research paper (see research option below). They are weighted towards the final grade as follows: class participation, 20 pts.; map quiz, 5 pts.; mid-term exam 20 pts.; 6-8 pg. paper, 25 pts.; comprehensive final exam or research option 30 pts., total possible points for course equals 100 pts. Class participation means contributing your presence, thoughts and voice to class meetings. Obviously, this cant be done if you arent in class! To participate effectively requires that one keep up with readings and lectures, think about the issues posed by the materials of the week, and discuss the concerns raised by readings, lectures, film and documents. You will also be required to write eight weekly responses to questions on the assigned readings. These responses are not to exceed one page and will be graded on a "+, ", "- basis and factored into your class participation grade. Response questions will be handed out at the last class meeting of each week and your responses are due at the first meeting of the week, prior to our discussions, except for Week 9 when we have the mid-term exam. It is possible to write one-page response papers for all weeks except 1, 5 (no readings, paper due), and 8 (spring break). Thus, there are 12 possible weeks and you may choose to skip four as best fits your schedule. You are responsible for eight one-page response papers over the course of the semester, four of which must be completed by the end of Week 9. The map quiz is a basic and simple test of your geographic knowledge. The mid-term exam will include an identification section and an essay question. It will cover all of the assigned materials through the fist half of the semester. The paper, about 1500-2000 words (6-8 pages), does not entail extra reading or research, but rather a careful and critical analysis of assigned material. The comprehensive final exam will cover materials from the entire semester. It will consist of an identification section, a long essay question covering the entire semester and a shorter essay question covering the materials from the mid-term to the final exam. The long essay question will be handed out on the final day of class. Students may bring in one page of notes (one side of an 8 1/2 by 11 inch piece of paper, any size font) to assist themselves with the final exam. Research option: Those wishing to have a research experience at this level may choose to write a 10-12 pg. paper on a topic of their choice in lieu of a final exam. Those choosing the research option must inform the instructor of the topic in writing by Tuesday, April 4. The professor must approve all topics in advance. Note: Those wishing to do a longer paper (15-20 pgs.) for the research requirement for the Concentration in Latin American and Iberian studies may also pursue that option. Paper Policy Late papers (those handed in after the deadline on the syllabus, without an extension negotiated in advance) will be subjected to a one full grade penalty. Thus, a 4.0 (A+) will become a 3.3 (B+), and so on. Note: Students are required to submit hard copies of their papers, i.e. typed or computer printed. It is the students responsibility to make a copy of their papers in case they are lost or misplaced. I strongly recommend making a hard copy for yourself, in addition to the one you hand in to the instructor. This allows you to avoid software disasters, printing problems, etc. Film Policy Viewing the films prior to classroom discussion is a requirement of History 209b. Students with pressing and legitimate reasons to miss the scheduled films can miss them, but they are required to watch the films on their own time prior to classroom discussion. All films will be on reserve at Magill Library, Haverford College.
