Cultural Geography

Spanish: Portuguese English: French: Dutch:

Diversity in Latin America Cultures are diverse – Each region has its own history, languages, customs, beliefs, foods, music, etc.

Diversity in Latin America Diversity in Races – Europeans, Africans, and Native Americans are largest groups – Members of these groups have intermarried and as a result, many people in Latin America have mixed ancestry and have developed unique cultures over time

“Latin America is known for its racial and ethnic diversity. Based on available estimates, about 45 million of the 500 million people in Latin America are indigenous and about 90 million (100 million if we include Haiti) are afro-descendants. This compares to about 40 million U.S. African Americans and 2.5 million American Indians.” -- PERLA (The Project on Ethnicity and Race in Latin America at Princeton University)

Native Americans Colonization started in the 1500s – Natives forced to work on plantations and in mines – Wiped out native populations by European weapons and disease Natives moved to remote regions to preserve their cultures ology/2011/02/09/%E2%80%98the- last-free-people-on-the- planet%E2%80%99/ Click this!

Central American & the Caribbean Spanish in Caribbean Established sugar plantations and forced natives to work them until the arrival of African slaves This has perpetuated an economy mostly based in agriculture. What are the downsides to this?

Africans Brought to Americas to work as slaves – Descendants of slaves live throughout Latin America – Specifically Brazil, Panama, and the Caribbean Islands Calypso music: island music with African and Spanish influences Capoeira: martial arts mixed with dance to hide slaves training to defend themselves

Religion Main religion is Roman Catholic brought over by colonizers – Blended with Native and African practices (Example: “Day of the Dead” in Mexico-blends Native American beliefs about the afterlife with Christian beliefs. 1 st Latin American Pope from Argentina! …his parents were born in Italy. s-pope-francis-latino-new-pope- ethnicity_n_ html

Cultural Controversy As a result of the blending of different cultures, Latin America has had a social class system that has often caused problems. – People with European ancestry make up higher socio-economic status groups Other culture groups have demanded equal rights and representation – 2005 Bolivia: 1 st Native American president elected

Socioeconomics in Mexico A more ideal situation

TIME OUT! Explain what the predominant religion in Latin America is and where did it come from? Describe an example of cultural blending in Latin America? Analyze how has colonialism impacted socioeconomics?

Population Geography

Per Capita average income Per Capita average income (top red line is men, lower is women) For example: in the US average male per capita income is US$ 55,000 while in Haiti it is US$ 7,000

Political Geography

Corruption in Government

After Independence Political instability led to oligarchies (gov’t by the few) and military rule – This authoritarian rule delayed the development of democracy, which is still having effects on the region today. Mexico: – Land distribution was unfair (few rich landowners with poor peasants working on the haciendas (estates or ranches) – The Institutional Revolutionary Party in 1929 helped introduce democracy and brought political stability Redistributed land to peasants
