HIST 145 PO - Afro-Latin America
This course examines the social and political effects of racial and ethnic categorization for people of African descent in Latin America, with a particular focus on Cuba, Brazil, Colombia, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Mexico. We will look at the social organization of difference from a theoretical and historical perspective as it relates to colonialism, economic systems of production, such as slavery, issues of citizenship, national belonging and government services, and access to resources. Our questions include: what have been the experiences of African-descended people in Latin America? Who is “Black” or “African” in Latin America and why have the meanings of “blackness” changed over time?
Instructor: Ms. Mayes
