HISTORY OF U.S. - LATIN AMERICAN RELATIONS

Catalog description

In this course, we will examine the history of the relationships, exchanges, and tensions between the peoples and countries of the Western Hemisphere. Since it would be impossible to cover the history of U.S. relations with each of the countries of Latin America, we will instead focus on key moments, events, and themes that gave rise to the current inter-American system. Some examples include: the War of 1898, the anti-imperialist movement of the 1920s, the Good Neighbor Policy, and Latin America’s Cold War. PREREQ: MINIMUM SOPHOMORE STANDING OR INSTRUCTOR CONSENT
