Latin American Studies

Latin American Studies is an interdisciplinary field that explores the history, culture, politics, and economics of Latin America, which includes countries in Central and South America, as well as the Caribbean. This area of study examines the diverse experiences of the region's peoples, their social movements, and the impact of colonialism, globalization, and migration. It often incorporates perspectives from various disciplines, such as history, sociology, literature, and political science, helping to understand the complex identities and challenges faced by Latin American societies in both historical and contemporary contexts.
