Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2617 In the early modern period, conquistadors, missionaries, travelers, pirates, and natural historians wrote interesting texts in which they tried to integrate the New World into their existing frameworks of knowledge. This intellectual endeavor was an adjunct to the physical conquest of American space, and provides a framework though which we will explore the processes of imperial competition, state formation, and indigenous and African resistance to colonialism.; The course explores how Europeans forced Indigenous and African peoples and individuals into narrative forms, genres, and ideological systems as they encountered them and strove to dominate the people and spaces of the Americas. Readings supplied to students via PDFs. Approach: Inquiry into the Past (IP); Haverford: Social Science (SO) ( ) Asynchronous — lectures will be ‘posted’ for students, and discussions will be managed asynchronously via Slack (a Moodle-like discussion system). |
