HIST/DIFF

Cross-listed: History This course is an introduction to the history, politics, and societies of “Latin” America, from the major native pre-Colombian civilizations and empires, to the time this hemisphere was “discovered” and first conquered by Christian Iberian men, to the particularly long colonial era in the Indias, to the continental independence movements that carved out the countries of today. The course will start with the main pre-Colombian civilizations, from the early precursors two thousand years ago to the “shocking” Aztecs in Meso-America and the immense Inca empire in the Andes; examine the two superpowers at the time, Spain and Portugal, on the eve of sea faring discovery; revisit Columbus’ official discovery in the Caribbean; cover the major conquests of what is now Mexico and Andean South America by daring and deathly Conquistadores in the 16th century, as well as the creation of Brazil; introduce students to the Habsburg dynasty in Europe, which came to rule almost all of Europe and the Americas; and deal with the stable (17th and 18th century) class and racial, as well as religious and administrative system of colonial Spanish America and Brazil. We will then turn to the Bourbon reforms, the resulting Creole restiveness in the colonies and importation of Enlightenment ideas; the creation of the concept of “America” and the drive for independence in the early 19th century, in unequal and racially hierarchical societies (with the leading roles of Bolívar and San Martín).

Due to the periods covered, there will of necessity be an emphasis on Mexico /Central America (Meso-America), the Andean region, and Brazil, with a snapshot of the Caribbean at the time of discovery.
