GS 232 - Introduction to Latin America

(3 S.H.)

The Latin America-Caribbean region is one of the world’s most misunderstood regions. Geographically, this region is very complex and culturally diverse; historically, it has been the scene of constant abuse and violent changes. In this introductory course, a global explanation of the processes that link the three major cultural groups (indigenous peoples, Afro-American, and Iberian or Portuguese settlers) will be explored. The interactions will be examined within social, historical, and ethnographic contexts. Meets GOAL 8. Grade only. Offered alternate years.
