Opening with the dramatic slave revolt that resulted in the Haitian independence, this course will examine the numerous instances of rebellion and resistance in Modern Latin America. While these terms might first bring us to struggles for state power, our readings will reveal that rebelling and resisting transcended theoretical articulations of authority in an effort to transform everyday lives. How did rebelling and resisting look like in different places? How did colonial legacies shape uprisings, and how were they resolved? How did global ideological trends, especially during the Cold War, affect resistance in Latin America?
