Description

This course will consider the elective affinities, encounters, and missed encounters between Left politics and indigenous movements in Latin America. With special emphasis on the Andean region, we will explore how indigenous struggles for land, water, and autonomy shape and are shaped by debates occurring among anarchist, communist, feminist, and Marxist figures and organizations. Course material will range from political manifestos and philosophical essays to literature, painting, film, and photography.

This course counts toward the Spanish major or minor requirements as a 400-level elective.
