SPAN 60.05 Rewriting the World: Afro-Latin American Radical Imaginations in the 20th and 21st century

This course will examine key moments of aesthetic production authored by or about African descendants in the Americas in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. From the contradictory post-abolition process to recent debates about affirmative action and public memory in monuments, we will read, listen to, watch, and discuss how Afro-Latin American imaginations shaped, radicalized and rewrote the struggles for creative liberties, political transgressions, and social contestation in the region and beyond.
