Underdevelopment in Latin America is a consequence of development elsewhere, that we Latin Americans are poor because the ground we tread is rich, and that places privileged by nature have been cursed by history.

— Eduardo Galeano, Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent.

I lost by 2 points in Scrabble.

The text of today is "The Process of Democratization in Latin America" by Karen Remmer. This one I liked a lot, easy to understand and to read. The way it explains the factors both at international and domestic level is amazing.

i know that this is a wide scope question but what philosophy books/authors do you think are necessary for a theological self study with a liberation slant?

if i were composing an undergraduate intro class to liberation theology i would include gutierrez, romero, cone, gaudium et spes, ateek, dolores williams, wariboko, khumalo’s chapter in life under the baobab tree, althaus-reid, saidiya hartman, grace cho, and hortense spillers. this covers liberation theology done from the following frameworks: black theology, womanism, latin american theology, palestinian theology, african theology, korean feminist theology, and generally, post-colonialism

#hope you meant lib theology broadly and not just latin american #but gutierrez and romero really cover the intro there #as well as vatican ii #ask #this is actually such a good syllabus i wish this was my area of study

taking spanish literature this semester….. let’s see how that goes

#all 4 literatures scare me so much i’m a linguistics girlie why do i have to do this….. #argentine / spanish / latin american / some foreign one of my choice #probs doing german #likeee it’s soooo much it’s gonna take me forever to graduate cause i’m lazy #and have trouble focusing #need to learn how to manage studying and working #cause otherwise i’ll have the worst time #we’ll see #effie talks to the moon

"do you by chance speak one of the Romance languages?"

Once again asking Charles to elaborate on which Romance language he speaks because it surely isn't French or Latin and he hates Italians too much for it to be Italian

#I don't think Spanish and Portuguese were widely studied back then especially by the upper class? #Romanian isn't even studied *now* #Did he get really into Rosalía de Castro and learned Galician??? #Catalan?? #Mash #m*a*s*h #Macks Musings #Maybe the few words French and Latin he seems to know count as speaking the language for him as an American #Sorry I'm in a mood for bullying anglophone people's tendencies to not learn languages

[ineffablelvrs]

latino and spanish people, could you guys comment or reblog with names of authors/poets that are most popular/significant in your countries (or like, ones that you studied abt in high school) ?? im doing a slideshow abt literature for spanish class and id really appreciate it if someone would help me out !!!!

For my mutuals that are posting about Greek myth retellings, do you all have thoughts of Orfeu Negro (Black Orpheus)? 

#it's a 1959 french-brazilian film #greek myth retellings #orfeu negro #I'm not a classicist I was in Latin American studies #Just realized my interests overlapped in this and want to talk about it if anyone else is willing

[ladespeinada]

i know it’s a wee early for the whole “end-of-the-year introspection” moment but if there’s one thing this year has affirmed for me, it’s this: b, you need to improve your português.

#specifically brazilian portuguese because we are latin american in this house!!! #but in general: whether read or written or spoken i need to get better #is this also related to the amount of brazilians in the nwsl? perhaps perhaps perhaps #also i need to improve my german but that’s separate because i haven’t been studying it the same

[rollercoasterwords]

what did you major in? (if you don’t mind saying ofc)

international studies + history!

#w a minor in gender studies #+ a minor in latin american studies #the degree i went into debt for <3 #ask

ok but can we seriously acknowledge Nasu's ignorance towards "studying" about South America for lb7

#fgo shit #look i love Nasu's stuff but as a south American myself it just irks me a fuckton that no one seems to acknowledge this #or when someone does talk about it they get clowned on because 'it's fictional'. we want actual fucking representation #if he did study about South American and Latin American history and mythology he would've used something else other than Aztec shit!! #you guys shouldn't be dickriding Nasu all the fucking time #i love lb7 but we could've had something better if Nasu actually researched shit!! #fate series #fate grand order #lostbelt 7

i think im gonna get a masters degree on literature, pretty sure i can make it specifically about latin american literature so i can finally fix formally that gap in my shit education

#the way academia specially cinema is just drowned in hatred of latin american arts for some sick fucks where i studied when the rest #of the academias have taken steps to document latin america albeit they're overzealous about sharing it but like that can change #all things change you just keep trying right #el suco posts
