Course Catalog Description
In this course, students examine the history of the US and Latin America from independence to the present. Lectures, readings, and written assignments will invite students to consider the history of the Americas through international, transnational, and comparative frameworks. This means we will cover the political history of US-Latin American relations, scrutinizing major turning points in U.S. foreign policy towards Latin America, as well as transnational histories of the region, through histories of immigration, the African diaspora, feminism, human rights, and drug trafficking. Course readings will range from black internationalist newspapers to oral histories with migrants, and secondary source readings of a similar scope.
