| Course Section Number: | HSP-250-01 |
| Department: | Hispanic Studies |
| Description: | How did conquest happen in the early Americas, beginning with the arrival of Europeans in 1492? We tend to think of conquest as military victory, but victory is rarely clear-cut or quick. In this course, we'll examine conflicts and compromises from across the Western Hemisphere to understand the messy process of conquest. We'll look at how different Indigenous and European societies comprehended and pursued conquest and how they experienced its immediate effects. Along the way, we'll pay attention to the lives of "regular" people swept up in conquest and especially to the roles of intermediaries-the translators, officials, and missionaries who brokered truces and rendered enemies legible. |
