ABOUT THE COURSE
This course will examine the colonial
history of the American continent as
interpreted through the various
historical accounts written by
eyewitnesses of the conquest. We will
cover two centuries of writings from
the late fifteenth to the seventeenth
century.
We will examine many relaciones or
historical accounts of the conquest,
letters, documents, poetry and other
historical artifacts to learn of the social,
political, religious and economical
significance of the colonial era.
There has been much debate regarding
2
the conquest of the Americas and it is
my hope that by reading and discussing
primary texts that we as a class may
“discover” our own conclusions and feel
confident with our individual
interpretations of the events.
Beginning with Christopher Columbus,
the trajectory of this course will take us
through the conquest and so-called
pacification of the natives of what is
now Mexico, the Andes and other
regions of Latin America. Ultimately,
the purpose of this class is to critically
examine the literature of the conquest
in hopes that it will force us to
reexamine the world around us.

Todo parece de plata [...] esta ciudad está fundada en una gran laguna salada [...] Es tan grande la ciudad como Sevilla y Córdoba [...] tiene una plaza tan grande como dos veces la ciudad de Salamanca [...] Hay muchas mezquitas o casas de sus ídolos de muy hermosos edificios, de maravillosa grandeza y altura.
