Can we imagine a “decolonial” history of colonial Latin America and the Caribbean? This course invites you to try. “Decolonization” requires us to acknowledge, work through and overcome the structures of power and privilege originating in the colonial experience itself. To do so one must analyze history, historiography (the writing of history) and non-written historical sources across varied time frames and vast geographic expanses, while also grasping the nuances of specific local histories. This course challenges us to think in new ways about past and present as it engages history and theory, the local and the global, and place and space.
