Description:

Columbus's voyage began a new period in the history of colonialism. This course examines the complex world that the Spanish Conquest destroyed, and it explores the "New World" created in its aftermath. It opens with a journey into the worlds of the Aztecs, the Mayas, and Incas, but it also considers indigenous peoples less well known to contemporary students, especially the Tainos, the Lencas, and the Guarani. The plight of millions of enslaved West Africans in the Americas is also a central topic. Finally, Spanish colonialism here extends between 1492 and 1898 in the Caribbean, and up to the 1820s in the U.S 1.00 units, Lecture
