HSPST-325/425 Indigenous Migration: Why and Where
Migration in and from Latin American territory represents one of the main social, political, and economic challenges of our times. However, the displacement of individuals and communities has a long history. This course explores the migratory movements of indigenous communities during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Students will identify the various motives and cultural consequences of the indigenous migration phenomenon in and from Latin America by analyzing stories, novels, and films. This course addresses issues related to racism, discrimination, territorial appropriation, gender inequality, colonial traces, and ecological deterioration, among others.
This course meets the educational goals of Hamilton College, with particular emphasis on the following: intellectual curiosity and flexibility, analytic and aesthetic discernment, disciplinary practice, communication and expression, understanding of cultural diversity, and ethical, informed, and engaged citizenship.
