Week 4: Independence Narratives, Past and Present

José Martí’s Nuestra América was and still is very influential in shaping thought through Latin America. There are several points and arguments that can and should be transferred to the present and sadly are not.

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.

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 →

Week Four readings

The facts about the growing but immature Liberalism coming from not only the US but also from France, the fact that the first country to gain independence in that region was Haiti (which […]
