HIST 110 - Latin American History: State and Nation Since Independence

FC SSCI CD

4 credits
This introductory course examines the political, social, and economic trajectories of Latin American countries since the 19th-century wars of independence. From the conflicts of early nation-building to the long-lasting effects of dictatorships and social movements, this course attends to important, and on-going, questions of identity, race, gender, and justice in Latin America. More than looking at Latin America in isolation, this course explores the interventions and exchanges with global economies, politics, and culture.
