HISP 450 - Puerto Rico Post-Mortem: Nation, Identity, and Language in a Non-Sovereign Territory

FC ARHU CD WINT
4 credits
What are nations? Do they matter? Is there such a thing as national identity? Can we do away with both? Asking these questions in Puerto Rico, a non-sovereign territory of the USA with an extensive diaspora, is different than in most contexts. Ideas of nationhood and identity, after all, structure historical claims for the islands independence and decolonization. This course engages with relevant debates in recent Puerto Rican intellectual history. Prior coursework related to Latin America/Latinx USA strongly recommended. Taught in English.
