Latin America is often considered a land of revolution. In fact, very few revolutions occurred in Latin America in the twentieth century, but there were many revolutionary movements. This class explores the major revolutions in twentieth-century Latin America and their results for other parts of Latin America, including the Mexican Revolution and the Cuban Revolution. It also examines the more common phenomenon of people’s movements and revolutionary movements in Latin America that did not participate in revolutions, especially in the parts of the Caribbean colonized by the Spanish Empire, including islands and parts of Central and South America. Using primary sources from the participants in the revolutionary processes and movements and recently published scholarship on them, the goals of the class are to understand why revolutions happened when they did, why they often did not happen, and how revolution as ideology, concept, and process mattered to the meanings of Latin America in the twentieth century. The two main countries that this class studies, Mexico and Cuba, were and are ethnically and racially diverse countries and the class deals with the different meanings and forms of diversity in their respective modern contexts. The revolutions the class studies also derived from conflicts over differences in class, geography, nationality, political affiliation, race, socio-economic background, and, inequality. This course is part of the Racial Justice Initiative, an interdisciplinary collaboration among students and faculty to further the understanding of racial inequality and injustice in the United States and beyond.
