We will look at some of the rich history of political cultural production in Latin America, the Caribbean, and diaspora used by social movement actors as voices of resistance and opposition. Additionally, we will consider the role said cultural productions play in documenting and archiving marginalized histories. Specifically, we will focus on film, murals, graffiti art, music, popular theater, testimonies and oral histories, fictional writing, and independent libraries. We conclude the quarter with a discussion of activist scholarship. Examples come from Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America, and the diaspora.<br \/>\nCourse learning goals ~ By the end of this class:<br \/>\nYou should have a solid grasp of late twentieth-century Latin American political history<br \/>\nYou should understand the place of culture in articulating political messages<br \/>\nYou should be able to see the role of revolutionary cultural productions in growing historical archives<br \/>\nYou should be a stronger and more capable writer<br \/>\nYou should be a more confident and competent researcher<br \/>\nGraduate students: You should make progress on your portfolio and\/or capstone project<br \/>\nRequired texts:<br \/>\nAguirre, Carmen. 2010.
