COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course will comparatively examine the ways that formerly colonized peoples engage in the process of de-colonization, a process through which subaltern peoples counter the cultural hegemony of European colonial powers, disinvest in whiteness, and aim to recapture the historical memory and traditions of African and Amerindian progenitors as a method of political mobilization. Of central focus will be anti-colonial struggles in Jamaica, Puerto Rico, and in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands.
