Colonialism in Latin America.

Catalog description

In this course, students learn about processes of colonialism in what is now Latin America. We analyze readings and primary sources including letters, memoirs, and others, to develop a fuller understanding of how the system of colonial rule changed the Americas over hundreds of years. Students will gain an understanding of the complex interactions between Indigenous, African, and European populations. During the last part of the semester, we will discuss concepts of post-colonialism and neo-colonialism in Latin America today. ( GE1C , GESO )
