Week 13 – Towards an Uncertain Future

In this week’s final chapter, Dawson focuses heavily on the economic priority that is continually held when considering the future development of a country or region. Stressing that the rate of economic growth and demand far outpaces the majority’s desire to ameliorate poverty and inequality, as well as to address environmental concerns. Its this tension […]

Week 13: Towards an Uncertain Future

As the last week comes to a close, I have greatly increased my knowledge on the history and predicaments of countries within Latin America compared to when I first walked into class in September. I find it troubling, besides being unsurprised, that the majority of Latin American history depicts the affects of oppression on disenfranchised […]

The Means Justifying the Ends

Throughout the term, we have painted quite the dismal picture of Latin America. It is as if Latin America has not gotten a single break since Columbus set foot on this side of the world. Given what we’ve learned about Latin America, especially in relation to its genesis and development, it seems that it is… Continue reading The Means Justifying the Ends →

Week Thirteen

I find week thirteen’s homework to be interesting as it focuses contemporary times and what the future holds for different countries in Latin America. In particular, I liked Maxwell Cameron’s conversation, “The Left Turns.” Early in the video, Cameron mentions that, in the past as countries would transition from neoliberalism to the rise of the left, […]
