U.S. Solidarity Networks with the Global South
Week 9 | M, Tu, W, Th | Turner Conference Room | Ages 16 and up
This course will highlight the ways in which a common humanity and global citizenship informed U.S. solidarity networks with the Global South in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. We will examine, in particular, Central American solidarity networks in the 1980s, both secular and religious, and the anti-sweatshop campaigns of the 1990s. Finally, we will consider the emergence of the World Social Forum as a site for the expressions of solidarity of North Americans with the Global South.
