HIST 349 - Latinx Social Biographies


Semester Offered: Second Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 credits
Attribute: 4SS, CD

In this research and writing seminar, we will read and produce scholarly narratives that are organized around the details of one person’s life. The majority of our readings focus on the stories of women of color, and we consider the biographical form’s efficacy in highlighting the experiences of individuals and groups that are understudied due to the politics of race, gender, class, and sexuality. We use an intersectional lens to draw inspiration from studies on historical actors such as Ella Baker, Luisa Capetillo, Stokely Carmichael, Suzanne Césaire, Ana Livia Cordero, Claudia Jones, Evangelina Rodriguez, Mamá Tingó, and Salomé Ureña. Students will produce their own original research on a historical figure
