Description

Indigenous nationalities and other marginalized minority groups in Latin America have developed innovative strategies, alliances and forms of political participation to achieve recognition of their rights and to contribute to new political configurations in the region. This course studies the dynamic situation of Indigenous and human rights and social conflicts in Latin America. Topics included contested definitions of individual and collective rights, responses to human rights abuses, and intersections between human rights frameworks and related peacebuilding processes. A country or sub-region may be selected for an in-depth case study, and may vary in different times that the course is offered.
