Topic Description:

In South America, first time visitors may find bewildering the casual way inhabitants of capital cities dismissively refer to the rest of the country as “the interior.” This course will explore the history behind this pronounced rural/urban division in Latin America. In this travel course to Chile and Argentina, we will learn about both the pressures that created such an enduring division and the resulting consequences such centralization creates for both the countries and the people who call them home.
