SPAN158 CM - Revolutions and Revolutionary Thought in Spanish America

It could be said that the Latin American countries were created out of a violent revolution. Since then some nations have undergone dramatic revolutions that have radically altered the political, cultural, economic, and social scenes. This course focuses on the literature of (and against) revolutions and on revolutionary thinking throughout Latin America. The specific focus may vary from semester to semester but typically will include an examination of the revolutionary literature of Mexico, Cuba, and Nicaragua, as well as texts produced in countries such as El Salvador, Peru, Venezuela, Chile, and Argentina, among others.
