Course Description:
Throughout the 20th century, revolutions throughout Latin America and the Caribbean shook the existing power structures. These upheavals, influenced significantly by campesino and worker movements, many of Indigenous and Black origins, challenged the status quo and the European-descended elites. From Mexico's 1910 revolution to Honduras's 2009 coup, the U.S. played a pivotal role, either through direct intervention or strategic influence, in determining the region's political landscape. This course zeroes in on Central America and the Caribbean, exploring how grassroots movements seized power, the ensuing reactions of the U.S. and local elites, and the lasting imprints these events left on the continent. |
