HIST 367 - Military Coups and Dictatorships in Latin America

Credit Hours: 3

This course examines Latin America’s military coups and dictatorships since 1810.

Students will then analyze primary sources to gain an understanding of the political, economic, and cultural implications of authoritarianism. Other major topics include: left-wing/right-wing political ideologies, popular reactions and/or resistance to dictatorships, and U.S./Latin American relations.
