Cuban Culture and Society

This course focuses on the development of Cuban culture and society, with special emphasis on the socialist process initiated in 1959 and its consequences in the areas of culture, the economy, political institutions, class, race, gender, and civil society. These events are examined within the framework of the island's own history, the colonial and post-colonial Caribbean, previous and subsequent revolutions in Latin America, and ideologies, such as socialism, imperialism, and nationalism. (Students will receive credit for only one of the following courses: ANT, HSP, or SOC 3015. These courses may substitute for each other in the F-replacement policy.)
