HIS 186 - History of Latin America, 1000 A.D. to 1810 A.D.

Long Island University-C W Post Campus

Subject:

Description:

This course underscores the uneven manner in which Europeans colonized and organized the New World. A study of the centuries before 1492 demonstrates that social, political, cultural, and economic realities in Europe and the New World set the conditions for colonization. The course challenges the concepts of "conquerors" and "conquered" and confronts preconceived notions about colonial domination. An examination of conquistadors, priests, colonial functionaries, Indian workers, indigenous nobles, women, mixedrace peoples, and African slaves helps understand life under Spanish and Portuguese rule, resistance to social and culture domination, and the production of new culture and racial fusions.
