This course focuses on reform movements and revolutions in modern Latin America as a way of considering how individuals and groups articulate their needs and demand access to resources, representation, and political change. Common themes we will consider during the semester:
• land reform
• voting rights
• environmental protection
• indigenous representation
• anti-imperialism.
Students completing the class will be able to
►explain major themes and events in Latin American History since the early twentieth century, acknowledging the differences and similarities between nations and regions;
►demonstrate an understanding of the differing experiences of people and groups depending on their racial, ethnic, gender, and/or national identities and socioeconomic status, and how their experiences shape their demands for change,
►analyze and interpret primary and secondary sources in Latin American History and cite relevant and appropriate information from multiple sources to make written and oral arguments.
