Representing Economic Expansion in Latin America

From distant fruit enclaves to the American dinner table, the debate over international economic expansion incites polarizing reactions. For more than a century, the desire for modernization has been an impetus for jubilation and greed, industrialization and exploitation, and power and theft. In this course, we will analyze the ways contemporary Hispanic artists and scholars have been responding to economic development throughout the fertile regions of Latin America. Audiovisual materials will serve as the primary texts for discussion.
