H1179: Bad Bunny and Colonization: US Foreign Policy from 1898 to Today in Splash Spring 2026 (Apr. 11, 2026)

My course will use the popular singer Bad Bunny as an entry point to discuss US colonization in Puerto Rico and Latin America. It will cover the historical and cultural references made by Bad Bunny in his music. Specifically, the Spanish American War, modern gentrification and the impact of Hurricane Maria. Later in the lesson, the US’s role in colonization and subversion in other countries in broader Latin America will be covered, such as the Contras in Nicaragua and the removal of Salvador Allende.
