HIS 5104 MODERN LATIN AMERICAN REVOLUTIONS
This seminar will provide students with an introduction to the internal social, political, and economic influences that led to revolution in Mexico and Cuba and counterrevolution in Guatemala and Chile, while also taking into account the influence of the United States and the cold war. This course, however, will not explore social change through the lens of the United States. Rather, we will examine how regional identities, women, peasants, and workers in each nation, shaped revolutionary movements and post-revolutionary state structures.
