HU 4495C - Cuban History3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course will introduce the student to the broad history of modern Cuba. Close attention will be paid to the country’s recent political history, as we discuss such topics as imperialism and life under colonial rule, the anti-colonial movement, the struggle for independence, the Revolutionary movement, and post-revolution politics. At the same time, issues of economic development will also be covered. The people of Cuba will remain center stage throughout the quarter, as will the ways such individuals navigated the worlds of race/ethnicity, political violence, the Cold War, and the contemporary War on Terror in Cuba. While based in the field of history, this course will employ an interdisciplinary approach that will draw liberally from such disciplines as sociology, economics, anthropology, and contemporary journalism in an effort to address the development and evolution of modern Cuba. (prereq: none)
