LAST 200 |
Why does colonialism matter to the fields of Latin American studies and American studies? What have been the consequences of colonialism for the nations that make up the Western Hemisphere? What have been the effects of colonial processes that have happened elsewhere but have clearly had an impact on the rise of nation-states and on racial formation in postslavery societies? What does it mean to put slavery and freedom at the center of national histories, even for those nations (postcolonial or indigenous) that are not typically associated with slavery? Beginning with 1898, this course analyzes cultural production over time and offers a comparison of the political legacies (as well as the contemporary cultural traces) of the original colonial enterprise. |
