It invites us to consider the historical role played by race and ethnicity in hierarchically structuring Latin American societies and reproducing patterns of exclusion from full citizenship in a number of contrasting case studies from the wars of independence until c. 1950. Among some of the topics to be considered are: the role of Afro-descendants and the indigenous in the region\u2019s independence from Spain and Portugal, the persistence of slavery in Brazil and Cuba in a context shaped by ostensibly liberal ideas, the so-called Indian question and its place in liberal thought in the nineteenth century, debates over desirable and non-desirable immigration and on immigration\u2019s impact on the \u2018racial stock\u2019, the adoption and adaptation of scientific racism and eugenics by Latin American thinkers as well as the critiques that such approaches to race engendered, the rise and demise of <em>indigenista<\/em> ideas, policies, and cultural expressions in both Mesoamerica and the Andes, the development of the notion of \u2018racial democracy\u2019 in post-slavery Brazil and Cuba and of \u2018whiteness\u2019 in the Southern Cone and their role in shaping racialised social policies. More generally, the course considers the ideological and practical construction of \u2018racial states\u2019 throughout Latin America in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>..Course structure<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Introduction<\/li>\n<li>Independence and Race<\/li>\n<li>Slavery in Brazil and Cuba<\/li>\n<li>Liberalism and the Indian Question<\/li>\n<li>Immigration: Europeans, Asians, Jews and Arabs<\/li>\n<li>The Science of Racism<\/li>\n<li>Indigenismo in Mexico and Central America<\/li>\n<li>Indigenismo in the Andes<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mixedracestudies.org\/?p=22166\" target=\"_blank\">Racial Democracy<\/a> in Brazil and Cuba<\/li>\n<li>Race in the Southern Cone<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>For more information, click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ucl.ac.uk\/history\/undergraduate\/current-undergraduates\/half-year\/Hist7362\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hist7362: Histories of Exclusion: Race and Ethnicity in Latin America University College of London 2013 Paulo Drinot, Senior Lecturer in Latin American History This course examines race and ethnicity, and processes of racialised and ethnic exclusion, in Latin America in historical perspective.
