HIS 3440 - Survey of Latin American History: From Pre-Contact to the Present

Credits: 4
An interpretative overview of Latin American history, from the eve of European expansion to the present. The class lectures and discussions will explore a range of topics, including: European conquest and colonization, systems of coerced labor, race and ethnicity, religion, gender roles, labor relations, the environment, nationalism and globalization, and foreign relations. Particular attention will be paid to agency (peoples’ ability to shape, within often powerful constraints, their own histories), and diversity (of people, places and ideas).
