HIS 225 - Survey: Latin America: The Colonial Period (4 Cr.)(formerly HIS 125) (LAM 225) (GCR Humanities and Interdisciplinary Studies area)
This course examines the history of the dynamic region that is now called Latin America, from the pre-Columbian era to the early nineteenth-century wars of independence. It focuses on interactions among Native Americans, Africans, and Europeans, tracing the evolution of a range of multiethnic societies in the Americas and examining the Atlantic exchanges through which they were formed. The class will also pay close attention to thinking about the intersection of race and ethnicity in the colonial period as well as histories of women, gender and sexuality. Together we will read primary sources that range from court cases, to maps, memoirs, letters, visual art and music and read monographs that center the lives and experiences of Latin American peoples from a range of regions and time periods before independence. Also open to students who have not previously taken and courses in history. Recommended but not required: 12 college credits or permission of the instructor. Variable semesters. Amador.
