Dario A. Euraque, Director of International Studies Program/Associate Professor of History Columbus's voyage began a new period in the history of colonialism. This course examines the complex world that the Spanish Conquest destroyed, and it explores the "New World" created in its aftermath. It opens with a journey into the worlds of the Aztecs, the Mayas, and the Incas, but it also considers indigenous peoples less well known to contemporary students, specially, the Tainos, the Lencas, and the Guarani. The plight of millions enslaved West Africans in the Americas is also a central topic. Finally, Spanish colonialism here extends between 1492 and 1898 in the Caribbean, and up to the 1820s in the U.S. |
