HISTORY 411 - Junior Seminar:The Andes in the Atlantic World

Institution:

Reed College

Subject:

Description:

Full course for one semester. This course examines how the 16th-century incorporation of the Andes into the Atlantic world by Spain affected Europe, and transformed indigenous society in creating the vast viceroyalty of Peru. The four thematic foci of the class are the Andean mining and market economy centered around Potosí, and its impact on the European economy and politics; the role of the royal state in Andean society; the organization of colonial society; and its cultural and religious dynamism. (A reading knowledge of Spanish is an asset for the research project, but is by no means essential.) This course is designed for junior history majors, and is limited to those who have completed two courses in history at Reed. Conference.
