LLS 263 The Black Experience in Latin America: Racism and Resistance
3 hours
This course utilizes a critical lens to examine the historical and contemporary contours of anti-Blackness in Latin America and the ways in which Afro-descendant communities have resisted white supremacy. Against the backdrop of European and U.S. colonialism, neocolonialism, racism, and slavery in Latin America, we focus Afro-Latin Americans’ socio-cultural identity, their struggles for liberation, their transnational political activism; their contributions to national societies; and the repercussions of anti-Blackness in the U.S. Latinx experience.
