This course will focus on Latin America's dissenting voices in literature, history, politics, philosophy, and the arts. This is a history course; however, given the nature of the material, we will adopt an interdisciplinary approach in this class. Some of the topics and names we will discuss include: José Marti and anti-imperialism, literature and protest, socialism, and radical politics in Brazil, art and revolution in Mexico, José Carlos Mariátegui in Peru and Marxism in Latin America. Radical Feminism, Che Guevara and the export of revolution, and the Pink Tide. We will analyze these and other alternative political projects formulated by intellectuals and activists in order to evaluate their attempt to eliminate social, racial, and gender inequalities in Latin America. (One course).
