Course conducted in Spanish and fulfills the Post-1800 Peninsular requirement for Hispanic Studies majors.This course examines the literary and visual representation of race as the concept has evolved in Spain from the nineteenth century through the present. We focus particularly on how Spain's history of colonialism and contemporary waves of immigration from Eastern Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa have shaped Spanish discourses on race, such as the construction of a Spanish "race" and depictions of the racial Otherness of colonized people abroad and immigrant populations within Spain. Finally, this course amplifies the voices of those who have been subject to cultural stereotyping, orientalism, and racism throughout Spanish history from the 1800s onwards.
