Week 4 Response

These past few weeks, we have been primarily focusing on the early stages of Latin America. For example, the landing of Christopher Columbus as well as the beginning of the colonial period. However this week, it seems that we have begun a more political chapter of Latin America. Personally, I’ve always found politics less interesting, […]

Week Four

From this week’s lecture, I found the idea of ‘representation’ (one thing standing for another) very interesting. In light of the statement ‘not a single man of those who assume [so enormous, so unlimited a power] is chosen by us, or is subject to our control or influence’ (‘Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of … Continue reading Week Four →

Homework #4

Week Four

There is something very special about a well written letter or speech. It makes you get goose pumps, sends shivers down your spine and more importantly it inspires you. All three of these documents did that for me. First the Bolívar, the Letter from Jamaica, a letter speaking of the hardships and the mountains they […]

Week Four Readings

The readings for this week illustrate three different types of narratives from individuals seeking independence from the dominant rule. These narratives are particularly interesting to study because independence narratives attempt to represent the whole of a society in the words … Continue reading →
