Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2643 This course traces the debates over land distribution and agrarian reform that have been at the forefront of modern political strife and Indigenous activism in the Americas. We will explore how Latin Americas rural poor have supported socialism and environmentalism as alternatives to capitalist extraction, as a strategy to break colonial vestiges, and as an anti-imperialist ideology. The course focuses on various case studies to address the meaning of socialism in largely agrarian societies, how states have implemented nationalist policies to redistribute land, and how new social movements approached land and community rights in ways that challenged the status quo. This class requires every students vocal participation in discussions. Students will also complete historical research papers on a topic of their choice, related to the course themes.; Lottery Preference: History Majors; Latin American Studies concentrators; Seniors/Juniors; Enrollment Limit: 12.00 Social Science, B: Analysis of the Social World (; Hav: SO, B) |
