Focusing on Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Peru, this seminar provides students with critical tools to explore and analyze Afro-Latine histories and cultural production in Latin America from colonial times to the present. Centering diverse forms of artistic expression—literary, performance and visual art—in conversation with historical and intellectual debates, the course explores critical themes of African ancestry, Black Pacific and Black Atlantic memories, diaspora experiences, aesthetic innovation, and social justice. Key authors included are Juan Francisco Manzano (Cuba), Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda (Cuba), Nicomedes Santa Cruz (Peru), Mónica Carrillo (Peru), Mayra Santos-Febres (Puerto Rico), Rita Indiana Hernández (Dominican Republic), among others.
