HI 3091 - African Cultures

Institution:

SUNY College at Old Westbury

Subject:

History and Philosophy

Description:

Taught in English. The Moorish (Muslim) invasion of the Iberian Peninsula in 711 AD, together with the growing presence of Jewish culture and religion in the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal), transformed the history and culture of the region in ways that are still visible today. Spain's world-view, religion, artistic and intellectual expression, architecture, and most importantly its language, are a result of that cross-cultural evolution that started more than twelve centuries ago. This course will explore the pivotal role played by Spain in modern European history and culture. Topics, such as the Counter Reformation, the Inquisition, the "Golden Age," the "merging of cultures" as a result of Spain's conquest of the New World, and modern Imperialism will be studied and analyzed as part of the Western tradition. Offered every fall.
