This course examines the history, societies, and cultures of various regions of the Americas (North and Central America, the Caribbean, the Andean rRegion, Brazil, the Southern Cone). The course moves from the major pre-Columbian civilizations, through the period of conquest and colonization (as European powers integrated the Americas to their own economic, political and cultural ends), the colonial times, and the first manifestations of the desire for independence. The second half of the course focuses onto the construction of national states and cultures during the 19th century as well as the main historical and political events of the 20th century. Discussions will be based on lectures, readings, documentaries, and feature films. Latin American newspapers on the Internet will also be used to inform our debates of current events.
