History of Colonial Latin America

This course examines Latin America during the Colonial Era between 1400 and 1830 when American, African, and European societies collided in the Western Hemisphere. The course investigates the creation of new multiethnic societies, and how the interchange of goods, people, and ideas following the colonial encounter fundamentally altered both Latin America and the world. (Students will receive credit for only one of the following courses: HIS 3071; LACS 3071; or LTS 3071. These courses may substitute for each other in the F-replacement policy).
