Institution:
Kutztown University of Pennsylvania
Subject:
Political Science
Description:
The Politics of Cuba and the Caribbean aims to use the analytical tools of comparative politics to impart a comprehensive understanding of Cuban politics, society, and culture, within the broader context of the unique challenges facing the countries of the Caribbean and their diasporas in the United States. Cuba is a country that for many remains shrouded in mystery and intrigue. This course will challenge the dominant perceptions about Cuba that have been shaped by the American news media and popular films. Using articles and texts from a variety of political perspectives (including sources from within Cuba) will bolster student debate on the relative significance of different historical trends and developments as well as controversial current events. While highlighting the intricacies of Cuba's historical and political development, this course will also place Cuba in a comparative context with the experiences of other countries in the Caribbean to examine a variety of themes central to study of the comparative politics.
