AFS 2350 - Black Majorities in the Caribbean and Latin America

This course will review basic (social history) literature from the Caribbean, Central and South America to determine impact of Black majorities a) on the societies, b) on construction of collective identities, c) on memories that mobilize them, and d) on processes of making community despite displacement. These questions will be applied to a representative territory from each language group in the Americas to discuss unequal power relations that can then be compared with US/Canada.
