HIST 040A SC - Latin America before 1820: Long Views of Contemporary Struggles for Equality
We will address 1) the ancient past; 2) the first European invasions and occupations of 1492 to 1600; 3) the period between 1600 and 1800 – when African and Indigenous labor became the foundation of the European imperial system, and capitalism in Europe grew in significant measure from profits generated by the sale of kidnapped Africans; and 4) the cataclysmic era of revolution from 1750 to 1825 that shattered colonial domination. The four sections of the course are tied to modern resistance movements, some of which have won national elections since the 1990s, thus opening a path to the practice of economics designed by and for the poor.
Course Credit: 1.0
Offered: Every year
