HIST 358 - Conquest and Colony: Cultural Encounters in the Americas (TR)

Explores contrasting patterns of colonization in the Americas. Traditionally, such comparative studies have focused on the cultural differences among the European colonizers, but here, students pay equal attention to differences among the many indigenous groups that lived in this hemisphere. Rather than treating indigenous peoples as passive players in the political and social struggles of the 16th and 17th centuries, students consider how they actively shaped processes of conquest and colonization.
