CMLT 194 - Indigenous Peoples in Mexico

This seminar examines how the indigenous have been represented in Mexican arts, literature, and popular culture beginning with the post-revolutionary murals and continuing through the present-day communiqués of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation [EZLN], most notably, by their representative Subcomandante Marcos. Students will follow the trajectory of a long period of Indians’ being presented by others, by the non-indigenous or Ladinos, to today’s self-presentation of a native people seeking Land, Liberty, and Dignity.
