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 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. Professor: Zane U.

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.
