Class Description:
In 1519, Spaniard Hernan Cortes entered the dazzling capital city of the Mexica (Aztec) empire; what happened next depends upon whose versions of events you read. European accounts emphasize his daring capture of emperor Moctezuma and his rapid domination of central Mexico by the use of his wits and superior technology. Native accounts reveal that the capture of Moctezuma backfired, leading to a lengthy and heroic defense of the island city. Regardless of the telling, such encounters and struggles set the stage for European rule of the Americas for the next three centuries. This course begins with pre-contact Native American societies, but primarily explores the historical processes of colonialism in Latin America (especially Mexico, Brazil and Peru) between 1492 and 1825. We will study both the economic, religious, and administrative systems put in place by the Europeans, and the varied responses of indigenous peasants, African slaves, racially-mixed town dwellers, and women. We will learn to analyze primary documents from the period (such as the competing accounts of the conquest of Mexico) and read life stories as well as historical narratives. And we will consider how that history has been remembered and commemorated. Class periods will include a mix of lecture, discussion and writing instruction.

Class Description:
In 1519, Spaniard Hernan Cortes entered the dazzling capital city of the Mexica (Aztec) empire; what happened next depends upon whose versions of events you read. European accounts emphasize his daring capture of emperor Moctezuma and his rapid domination of central Mexico by the use of his wits and superior technology. Native accounts reveal that the capture of Moctezuma backfired, leading to a lengthy and heroic defense of the island city. Regardless of the telling, such encounters and struggles set the stage for European rule of the Americas for the next three centuries. This course begins with pre-contact Native American societies, but primarily explores the historical processes of colonialism in Latin America (especially Mexico, Brazil and Peru) between 1492 and 1825. We will study both the economic,religious, and administrative systems put in place by the Europeans, and the varied responses of indigenous peasants, African slaves, racially-mixed towndwellers, and women. We will learn to analyze primary documents from the period (such as the competing accounts of the conquest of Mexico) and read life stories as well as historical narratives. All students register for a discussion section.
