HIST 291 - Latin America in the US Imagination This course may also count for the major in (consult the program or department major requirements) : Latin American Studies, Hispanic Studies Semester Offered: Second Semester Credits (Range): 3 hours Attribute: 3SS, CD, WR How people in the United States understand Latin America may have more to do with imagery than scholarship. Through editorial cartoons, photographs, and films, ‘Latin America’ has appeared in the U.S. imagination as perpetual child, bandit, revolutionary, temptress, drug dealer, and much else. In this course, we will study how images do their work, and how they have fashioned a representation of Latin America in the United States that makes understanding problematic. Enrollment Limit: 35 Instructor: S. Volk Prerequisites & Notes Preferred preparation: HIST 110.
