CHLT 170 CH -Black/Indigenous Cent. Americans

Institution: Pitzer

Description: This course will explore the history and contemporary manifestations of race, ethnicity and racism in Central America, the isthmus region, and among the Central American Diaspora in the U.S. Centering on the constructs of mestizaje, racial-mixing myth of an indo-hispanic colonial past, suffused with racial hierarchies and anti-blackness that continue to afflict society. Contemporary transnational social movements of Black and Indigenous communities have begun to align with values and demands of The Movement for Black Lives in the US. The class will explore race and anti-blackness in the region and in the communities of the Diaspora throughout the 20th century.
