HIS32200 - Colonial Latin America, 1492-1898 (Audit) - 2017
This module examines the history of Colonial Latin America from the Columbian discovery of the New World in 1492 to the end of Spanish dominion in the Americas in 1898. It provides an outline of both the Portuguese and Spanish imperial enterprises from the earliest explorations to the establishment of colonial societies wholly different from their Spanish and Portuguese counterparts. While this course is chronological, it also approaches the subject thematically, including: early explorations, indigenous America, representations of America in Europe, slavery, mining, trade, colonial society, and the independence movements of the nineteenth century.
