Institution:

Hilbert College

Subject:

Description:

This course is designed to give students an overview of the various ethnic, religious, and cultural influences that have contributed to the formation of modern Spain. We will explore the various tides of invasion: Phoenician, Greek, Roman, and finally Muslim that contributed to making medieval Spain a melting pot of religious tolerance. We will also discuss how these tides of invasion have molded the Spanish psyche and the far reaching effects on Western civilization itself. In addition, we will view the rise and fall of the Spanish Empire from 1492 to 1588 and the birth of Hispanic culture as reflected in the many countries which embrace Spanish as their official language.
