Course Description:
This course delves into the racialized and gendered dimensions of power and resistance in Latin American and Caribbean history. Utilizing testimonios or testimony-a genre emerging from the struggles of marginalized communities in the late 20th century-we'll probe how poor, campesino and working people, especially from Black and Indigenous backgrounds, confronted systems like patriarchy, white supremacy, and capitalism. By centering non-elite and women's perspectives, we unearth diverse expressions of racial identity, the realities of poverty, and the gendered underpinnings of violence and dictatorship. |
