Description:

The defeat of the Aztec Empire by a small band of Spanish soldiers led by Hernán Cortés permanently changed the way Europeans understood the world, at the same time that it subjugated Mexico's indigenous population to the institutions of colonial rule. Both sides of this important cultural encounter will be studied through a close examination of the narratives about the conquest written a few days or a few decades from the events themselves. The course may be counted toward the Anthropology major and the Latin American Studies Program. PREREQUISITES: English 101, 102, and a G100 course or 30 transfer Credits. 3 Lect Hrs, 3 Credits.
