Week 10: Power to the People

This week I will be focusing on “The Renunciamiento as Compiled from Newsreel and Archival Footage” and “Eva Perón’s Final Response”. What I first noticed was the repeated term “descamisados”, which means the shirtless. However, I had never heard the term used in this context before the speeches of Juan and Eva Peron. A quickContinue reading “Week 10: Power to the People”

Week 6- Citizenship and Rights

To recap the conclusions of last week’s readings, the Caudillo was the best governing system for post-colonial Latin America. This system kept the rich where they wanted to be, at the top with the ability to control laws and to decide if they would like to impose them.  The poor and marginalized inherit the new […]

Week 5- Caudillo and the National Guard

Last week we discussed how important political representation.  This reminded me of why it is so important to vote and use your voice to elect the representation you want. When you don’t vote you don’t have the opportunity to be represented when decisions are being made that will directly affect your way of living. Independence is […]

Week 6- Citizenship and Rights in the New Republics

Hello! This week I was so intrigued by the comparison between Latin American citizenship and rights discussion versus Canadian citizenship and rights discussion. Although I am originally from Argentina, my academic knowledge of this subject is much more centered in the Canadian indigenous perspective due to the direction my academics have taken me.

Week 4- Independence Narratives

“How do you get people who do not care about your existence to listen? Is revolt the only way?” That was my first question when I thought about Latin American independence.
