Piracy, Smuggling, and Corruption.

Catalog description

In this course students will study morals and values in their colonial Latin American contexts, how they are construed, and how historians and contemporaries have interpreted them. We will do this by examining the most controversial peoples in these societies, from prostitutes to pirates, from slaves to men and women of ill repute. This promises to be a voyage of discovery of the other and of the self. Prerequisites: any general education history survey or consent of instructor. NW.
