**Professor Kirsten Weld.** During the late 20th century, much of Latin America was engulfed by intense political conflict, the legacies of which still resonate. Focusing on Chile, Argentina, El Salvador, and Guatemala, this course comparatively examines these periods of dictatorship and violence, and then explores how these societies have reckoned with their powerful aftermath. Topics covered include peace processes, truth commissions, transitional justice, activism, law, and the politics of historical interpretation.
