Black & Indigenous Movements in Latin America

Catalog description

This course examines Black and Indigenous communities and their social movements in Latin America; the formation of social identities, in particular gender, race, class, sexuality, and language; and involvement in environmental and land rights movements. In addition to analyzing academic texts, archives, and journalistic accounts of the struggle for Black and Indigenous sovereignty in Latin America, we will also explore popular fiction, podcasts, and engage with visual representations that consider these historically marginalized experiences.
