The Hispanic World I (S331)
Reading and Viewing Guides

Tina Modotti, "Julio Antonio Mella's Typewriter" (1928)
_____________________________________________________

Depending on our needs as a group, there will be guides available during the term for some of the works we are reading.  You will find them to be helpful in preparing your readings and your discussion interventions; they will give you a sense of how to look at the text, issues I want you to be thinking about, and topics to focus on for the compositions and final paper.  The guides vary in complexity and goal, and therefore will be turned in for either a homework (included in participation) or novel guide grade (see the course syllabus for specifics).

As we progress through the readings, check this site for new guides.
