HIST 326/426 Gender & Power in Latin America
This course discusses various topics concerning gender and power in Latin American history from the late colonial period to the present time. By reading articles and monographs written by historians, life histories, women's narratives, as well as by viewing four Latin American films, we will be able to relate our own experiences to women and men in Latin America. We also will compare and contrast the experiences of different groups of women according to such factors as race, ethnicity, and class.
