Chabot College 2024-2026 267 CREDIT COURSE LISTING, HIS 32 Colonial Latin America 3 Units This introductory course examines how the convergence of Indigenous, European, and African, peoples in Latin America created many complex and dynamic cultures and societies, in the regions we call the American Southwest (in the north), all the way to Chile and Argentina (in the south), and everything in between. This course will assess over three hundred years of history from the late fifteenth to the early nineteenth centuries. Interrogating a robust selection of primary and secondary sources will allow for an in-depth coverage of the men and women who reflected the peoples, places, events, beliefs, practices, institutions, cultures, and conflicts of their own times and will allow us to foreground the lived experience of a diverse array of Latin Americans. This course will also demonstrate that one cannot understand modern Latin America without studying its colonial past. No previous study of Latin American history is required for this course.
