CORE 003 SC - Challenges from the global south - “America”

This class addresses challenges from the global south in the western hemisphere. It is organized around questions raised by struggles for freedom in locations ranging from Haiti to Chile. Each week we will focus on a discrete problem in a discrete geographic location. Most of these struggles draw on ancient Indigenous or African conceptions. They challenge contemporary corporate projects and elite conceptions. Our texts include films (subtitled in English), print media, essays, and oral histories. In order to explore issues of perspective, writers form the regions we are studying will be favored.
