HIST 5.13 Modern Latin America

This course presents the histories of Latin American and Caribbean societies, peoples, and nations from the onset of the Haitian Revolution in 1791 to the present. By placing Haiti at the center of the Age of Revolutions, this course also locates the Caribbean region within the Latin American context. We will study the region’s nation-building processes using an intersectional lens to explore how different people interpreted them through their own gendered, classed, and racialized identities.
