CORE 010A SC - Latin Am: The people take power

“Poder Popular (Peoples Power) in Latin America: Indigenous and African Roots in Present-day Governance” looks at primary sources to understand how poor people have taken power. It speaks from African and Indigenous epistemologies. These reach deep into the centuries of African Diaspora and Indigenous resistance to white power. Most of the course will draw on film texts, mainly documentaries. Justice in a gendered frame, anti-racism, and cultures of resistance will be explored.
