HS 325 Revolutionary Cuba: History and Politics (Fall: 3)

Prerequisite: Any two semesters of HS 001 through HS 094
Cross Listed with BK 325
Satisfies Cultural Diversity Core Requirement
Offered Periodically
Fulfills Non-Western requirement for History majors
This course has as its focus Cuba's foreign and domestic policies since the revolution. Because Cuba is, in Fidel Castro's words, a "Latin African" country, some attention will be focused on the issue of race and the revolution in Cuba. Likewise, the history of Cuba's policies in Africa and the Caribbean will be looked at closely. It is, however, not a traditional course in diplomatic history. It explores the interface between domestic and foreign policy throughout, relating this to the specific case of Cuba since 1959.
