- Give a brief review or summary of the two articles (no more than one third of your post).
- Give you own reaction to the points raised in the articles. Do you agree? Disagree?
- Give the relevance of the author’s main points to our survey of Latin America; what points were helpful?
A several questions to consider:
- What do you think about Latin America as a distinct cultural-linguistic area of study?
- Does the idea of “Latin” America exclude Brazil or Haiti? What about Jamaica?
- Do you agree with Drake and Hilbink that there is still value in studying Latin America from the Area Studies perspective?
At least two citations
300 words minimum
- What are the advantages of studying from an “Atlantic” perspective rather than just a “Latin American” perspective?
