About this course

Conducted in Spanish. Fulfills Post-1900 Latin American requirement for majors and Elective for HS majors or minors.Do Afro-Mexicans and Afro-Argentines exist? Some countries have a recognized Black population but in others this population has been systematically rendered invisible and marginalized as a part of a project enacted by the nation-state. In this course we will compare literary works, films and contemporary art that express blackness and its politics. Our approach to these works will illuminate individual or collective narratives and counternarratives that will allow us to access a postcolonial, transhistorical, and transnational understanding of the Black condition in Latin America.
