Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This class analyzes Latin American and Caribbean Political Thought as a counter-discourse to European Political Thought. The course is divided into two parts:

In the first part, we will establish a link between ideas of 17th and 18th-century liberalism and the justification or rejection of European colonialism and expansion. We analyze the texts of Enlightenment writers like Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. In addition, ambivalent ideas on the colonialism of Karl Marx are examined.

In the second part of this course, the Latin American and Caribbean counter-discourse which partly refers to the above-mentioned European philosophers will be critically analyzed.
We will look at the anti-imperial and seminal text of "Our America" by José Martí. We will also discuss the canonical texts of Caribbean authors like Aime Cesaire, Frantz Fanon, and Anibal Quijano.
