2020-21 Academic Catalog

We will study works by some of the most prominent female voices from Latin America and examine the central role that women held in various Latin American struggles of liberation, civil war and revolution. Through an examination of crucial historical events (Sandinista, Cuban, and Mexican Revolutions, Salvadoran Civil War, etc.) we will analyze forms of artistic and literary expressions such as novels, poetry, murals, songs and films, which were an intrinsic part of these events and participated in defining their philosophical and cultural parameters. Prerequisite: Spanish 204 or proficiency
