HIST 361 - The Mexican Revolution: Birth, Life, Death

3 SS, CD, WR
First Semester. No revolution in Latin American history has been more widely studied than the Mexican. Yet after more than 80 years of research, scholars still debate whether there ever was a revolution in Mexico. This seminar will focus on the life cycle of the Mexican Revolution, exploring its origins, institutionalization, and (according to some) demise. Our sources will take advantage of a rich historiography, which has rapidly expanded in the last 15 years, as well as novels and art works. Classes will be organized and discussions led by students. The course will also have a major research component.
