This course serves as an introduction to Latin American historiography, covering the span between the 19th Century’s processes of independence and the military dictatorships of the second half of the 20th Century. It includes readings on Argentina, Mexico, Peru, Colombia, Cuba, and Brazil. This course is not designed to provide an extensive review of Latin America; however, the readings have been selected to cover an ample spectrum of themes, sources, countries and historical periods.
