HIST 615: Problems in American History

HIST 615-010: Latin America and the U.S.
(Spring 2013)

07:20 PM to 10:00 PM T

Section Information for Spring 2013

This course will examine the evolving historical relationship between the United States and Latin America. In recent years, an explosion of new scholarship has pushed our appreciation of this vital relationship beyond traditional diplomatic history and simplistic models of domination. Particularly important have been a new emphasis on cultural influence and exchange as well as new interpretive approaches that attend to transnational processes. We will explore the motives and meanings of U.S. imperialism, as well as the efforts of Latin Americans to both engage with and resist U.S. policies and to appropriate North American culture. We will examine some of the ways North Americans have remade Latin America and Latin Americans have remade the United States.
