This course will consider recent and innovative work that examines gender, culture, and politics in Latin America and the Caribbean. We will draw on literature from gender and cultural studies, anthropology, history, and other fields in order to question changing political economies and cultures on the one hand and lived experiences of those of different gender, race, class, and sexual orientation on the other hand. We will discuss contemporary social movements, popular culture, and everyday life, using a discussion format in which students participate actively.
