History 209a: Colonial Latin America From Conquest to Independence Course Description Are you interested in understanding Latin America? If so, you must understand the colonial era. Spanish and Portuguese rule of the region lasted more than three centuries--in most countries from 1492 until the early 1820s, and in Cuba and Puerto Rico until 1898--and the legacies of colonial rule have conditioned social relations, economic life, culture, and political struggle up until the present. This course will provide a thorough and regionally varied introduction to the multi-faceted history of colonial Latin America. The instructor believes that the best teaching leads people to learn for themselves. We will strive for that goal in this course. I respect your independent intellectual capacity, but also demand that you think hard and well. In my view, the study of history is fascinating because of the conflicts, debates and new syntheses that arise as we engage in dialogue with a past we can never fully recover. At its best, our classroom will provide a collaborative and respectful forum that embraces this process, allowing us to develop our intellects while we refine our skills at oral and written expression. Do you believe that rigorous intellectual work, although sometimes difficult and even dull, should also include fun and variety? If so, this course is for you. Course materials include historical analysis written by scholars, documents (in translation) that ask you to be the historian, literature using fiction and fantasy to understand the past, and a very interesting film.

Course Requirements There are five course requirements: class participation, a map quiz, a mid-term exam, one 6-8 pg. paper, and a comprehensive final exam or a 10-12 pg. research paper (see research option below). They are weighted towards the final grade as follows: class participation, 20 pts.; map quiz, 5 pts.; mid-term exam 20 pts.; 6-8 pg. paper, 25 pts.; comprehensive final exam or research option 30 pts., total possible points for course equals 100 pts. Class participation means contributing your presence, thoughts and voice to class meetings. Obviously, this cant be done if you arent in class! To participate effectively requires that one keep up with readings and lectures, think about the issues posed by the materials of the week, and discuss the concerns raised by readings, lectures, film and documents. You will also be required to write weekly responses to questions on the assigned readings. These responses are not to exceed one page and will be graded on a "+, ", "- basis and factored into your class participation grade. They will be handed out at the last class meeting of each week to help you prepare for the next week and they are due at the first meeting of the week, prior to our discussions. It is possible to write one-page response papers for weeks 2,4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, in other words during the ten weeks not including the first week, when there are no other assignments due, and when you are not on vacation. You may choose to skip two weeks as best fits your schedule, meaning you are responsible for eight one-page response papers over the course of the semester. The map quiz is a basic and simple test of your geographic knowledge. The mid-term exam will include an identification section and an essay question. It will cover all of the assigned materials through the fist half of the semester. The paper, about 1500-2000 words (6-8 pages), does not entail extra reading or research, but rather a careful and critical analysis of assigned material. The comprehensive final exam will cover materials from the entire semester. It will consist of an identification section, a long essay question covering the entire semester and a shorter essay question covering the materials from the mid-term to the final exam. The long essay question will be handed out on the final day of class. Students may bring in one page of notes (one side of an 8 1/2 by 11 inch piece of paper, any size font) to assist themselves with the final exam. Research option: Those wishing to have a research experience at this level may choose to write a 10-12 pg. paper on a topic of their choice in lieu of a final exam. Those choosing the research option must inform the instructor of the topic in writing by Tuesday, Nov. 1. The professor must approve all topics in advance. Note: Those wishing to do a longer paper (15-20 pgs.) for the research requirement for the Concentration in Latin American and Iberian studies may also pursue that option. Paper Policy Late papers (those handed in after the deadline on the syllabus, without an extension negotiated in advance) will be subjected to a one full grade penalty. Thus, a 4.0 (A+) will become a 3.3 (B+), and so on. Note: Students are required to submit hard copies of their papers, i.e. typed or computer printed. It is the students responsibility to make a copy of their papers in case they are lost or misplaced. I strongly recommend making a hard copy for yourself, in addition to the one you hand in to the instructor. This allows you to avoid software disasters, printing problems, etc. PAGE 8 PAGE 6 d?
