This special topics course, Social Justice in Latin American Culture, will address how struggles for Social Justice have played an important role in politics, culture, and social life in Latin America. Shaped by 1960s and 1970s discourse and addressing colonial legacies, these struggles include literature, music, and movements demanding land reform, protesting violence, or redefining politics: all have started by embracing evolving concepts of Social Justice. In this course, we will explore the challenged and varied history of that concept and the deep influence in the culture of the Spanish speaking countries of the region. More importantly, we will ask how different groups answer the question of fairness in their societies today.

This specific offering of the course, Afro-Hispanic Literatures and Cultures, examines 20th and 21st century literary representations of afro-identity in Latin America, the Spanish Caribbean and Equatorial Guinea with special attention to the intersections of race, gender, class, and nationality. We will analyze how the work of art (a literary text, a movie, a painting, a song, to name a few examples) serves as a space for reflection on concepts such as ‘race,’ ethnicity, hegemony, resistance, multiculturalism, and hybridity. Primary readings will be supplemented by relevant historical, critical, and theoretical texts. Along with these readings we will also view documentaries and films that deal with issues of race and ethnicity within these minority communities. Class discussion will focus on how identities are constructed within the space of fiction and other artistic representations. The objective for this course offering is to provide an overview of contemporary literary works by Latin American, Caribbean and Equatorial Guinean writers of African descent.
