This interdisciplinary course will review issues that appeared throughout the last century in the press of Black communities in the non-English speaking countries of the Americas. It will examine articles in countries where Afro-descendents constitute a large number such as Brazil and the Dominican Republic, as well as those countries where Blacks are a small minority such as Argentina, Uruguay, and Bolivia. Students will compare conditions in Latin America to those described in the Black press of the United States. Prerequisite: LIBS 200.. (F;S;SS)
