Course #: LATAM 305

Description:
This course examines the cultural, historical, and social development of the Caribbean.

Topics may include the Haitian Revolution, the Cuban War of Independence, n?gritude/negritud, the Cuban Revolution, decolonization, diaspora, race and creolization, and others.
