(LAS 155, SOC 155) Afro-Latino Social Movements in Latin America & the Caribbean

4 Credits

This focuses on Afro-Latinos who make up nearly 70% of the population of the Americas. Despite the large amount of people of African descent living in the Americas, Afro-Latinos are an understudied population who face significant amounts of racial discrimination in their countries. Who are Afro-Latinos? Where do they live? How are they challenging the racism that they face? These are questions we will tackle in this course. Attribute/Distribution: CC, SS, SW
