Class Description:: This course introduces students to major works, topics and debates in the history and historiography of 19th and 20th century Latin America. We will pursue several objectives in the seminar. First, this seminar will prepare students for comprehensive field exams dealing with Latin American history and/or other fields in Latin American studies. Second, this seminar will prepare students for teaching courses in modern Latin American history and/or Latin American studies. And third, this seminar will allow students to read broadly and comparatively in topics dealing with their own research interests. To a certain extent, these three objectives are intertwined and we will pursue them simultaneously. But we will also set aside time in each session to deal separately with the various objectives.
