SP4088: Citizenship In Mexico And Central America B

SP4088: CITIZENSHIP IN MEXICO AND CENTRAL AMERICA B (2021-2022)

Last modified: 31 May 2022 13:05

Course Overview

This course asks what it means to be a citizen in Latin America (though with a focus on Mexico). It will combine history and ethnography. Citizenship is often described as rights-bearing membership in nation-states, and we will see that this has been important in Latin America, past and present. However, we will draw on a variety of readings, including the lecturer's own ethnography, to see that there has been more to citizenship than this.
