This course pairs contemporary literature and film to offer an in-depth look at Latin America via authentic cultural forms.

We will connect readings and viewings to contemporary political trends in Latin America, including the intellectual push for "decolonization." The course is taught in English, and readings are in English translation. Students seeking SPAN credit must read and write in Spanish.
