Black Latin American Politics

How do struggles by Afro-Latin American populations expand our understanding of liberation? This course addresses this question from various disciplinary perspectives. This interdisciplinary course focuses on tactics and strategies ranging from the anthropology of everyday forms of resistance and infra-politics, Black feminists' understandings of how the personal becomes political, historical rebellions and guerrilla warfare, the sociologies of social movements, to the more ''unnoticed'' place-based resistance through the lenses of Black geographies and the creation of Black senses of place in Latin America.
