HIST 3850 - Latin American Revolutions

This course presents a critical comparative analysis of twentieth-century revolutionary theories and movements in Latin America. What were the sociopolitical conditions in each of these countries that led to a revolutionary situation? What were the differing responses to those conditions? What did these revolutions seek to accomplish? What were the outcomes of these revolutionary changes? The goal of this class is to acquire a more complex understanding of the nature of exploitation and oppression in Latin America and the continuing struggles for social justice.
