ILCS 374 - Latin America and Globalization

Credit Hours: 4
Globalization first described economic developments and has now broadened to encompass ideas about cultural phenomena and global relationships of power in the current era. The socio-political changes since the 1970s in Latin America have created a re-evaluation of popular cultures, of political participation, and of regional and national identities by many writers, artists, and activists. This course explores these ideas from Latin American perspectives through literature and other cultural expressions.

Prerequisite(s): ILCS 206, ILCS 260, or consent of the instructor.
