Week 8: Signs of Crisis in a Gilded Age

This topic was building off last weeks material about the beginning of modernity in Latin America. Dawson describes this period of modernity in Latin America as the “gilded” age instead of “golden” alluding to the many problems that the region faced. With modernity and progress came a lot of regress as well, or as JonContinue reading “Week 8: Signs of Crisis in a Gilded Age”

Week Eight: Signs of Crisis in a Gilded Age

I would like to focus this week’s blog post on Rubén Dario’s poem titled “To Roosevelt” and the meaning behind it.

Week 8: Signs of Crisis in a Gilded Age

This week’s topic asked the question: given that modernity and the export boom were coming (in all its superficial, gilded glory), what would be the cost for Latin American countries?

Week Eight

This week I found the primary source readings in the textbook showed a very particualr opinion by each author. Their topics also reflect some of the thoughts and feelings that were going in Latin America during the early 20th century.
