EAST 173 - Histories from the Periphery: North Korea and Cuba


Semester Offered: Second Semester
Credits (Range): 3 Hours
Attribute: 3 SS, CD

New Course Added 10.18.2007.

Using both historical and contemporary sources including film, this course examines the history of North Korea and Cuba before and after the revolutions. How did the revolutions affect gender relations, the status of women, the economy, domestic and international politics, cultural production, and everyday life? By understanding North Korea and Cuba in comparative perspective, we go beyond a national or regional history for a look into marginalized histories.  Enrollment Limit: 25.
Instructor: S. Kim
