235. Peoples and Cultures of Latin America
This course examines the historical traditions and cultural diversity of the Latin American region. Particular attention is given to the creation and expression of regional "popular" cultures by considering: ethnicity, gender, social stratification, mass media, religious change,"peasant" societies and social movements. We discuss these topics in a wider sociopolitical context of colonialism, nation-state formation, rural-urban relations and influences of globalization.
