Power, Protest, and Resistance in Latin America Latin American history is filled with people taking collective action to shape their societies. This course examines the protest, resistance, and movements in 20th-century Latin America and the changing role of U.S. intervention in the region. It looks at the neo-liberal era, the limits of formal political democratization, and the rise and decline of the globalization project as it has occurred in Latin America. The course will ask some of the following questions: Why have ordinary Latin Americans joined social movements? How do movements adopt their strategies? How do contemporary movements in Latin America influence the movements of other countries in the Global South, and vice-versa? Some of the case studies include -but not limited to labor movements in Chile, Peru, and Bolivia; peasant/indigenous movements in Mexico and Brazil; feminist and LGBT movements in Brazil and Honduras; and mobilization against the military dictatorship in Argentina, Brazil, and Chile in the ’70s.
