A. Johnson, M. Rugg Beginning with the loss of the empire in the 19th century and moving through a series of political upheavals, including civil war and fascism, the history of modern Spain has been one of turmoil and continual conflict. The numerous political crises both resulted from and resulted in larger crises of a social, spiritual, and moral nature.

Whereas SPAN 361 addresses the problems of students learning Spanish as a second language through course-related activities, this course is designed for English-dominant bilinguals who learned Spanish mainly through extensive exposure to the spoken language in a non-classroom setting and who, though fluent orally, had insufficient opportunity to develop native-level writing skills. Prerequisites: permission of the instructor. Not open to students with the score of 5 on the AP Spanish language exam, except by special permission of instructor, or to students who complete SPAN 361. May be taken for major credit only on campus.
