Additional Course Info | Class Number: 1773 History 209b introduces students to modern Latin American history. Throughout the semester we shall examine Latin America from the nineteenth-century emergence of modern republics through the present. Our readings will introduce us to all the major regions and cultural zones of contemporary Latin America, as well as the issues that have been of most concern for historians studying this area. Over the course of the semester, we will develop a thorough understanding of modern Latin American social and cultural history. Special attention will be paid to the themes of political conflict and social change; the negotiation and redefinition of social hierarchies based upon gender, race and class; sexuality and the formation of youth culture; economic, social and political changes wrought by economic liberalism and neoliberalism; and the construction of historical memory in the aftermath of extreme political violence.
