Latin America 1600-1870: From Colonialism to Neo-Colonialism
|
| This course will examine how the Iberians established political, economic, cultural and social control over the Americas, and how this domination, exercised through religious, economic, administrative institutions, as well as by maturing concepts of inequality and racism was internalized or op- posed by the "subject people". It will then discuss the limited objectives of the liberation movements in Latin America in the early 19th century, liberalism as a modernizing concept and simultaneously as a force for the establishment of new pat terns of domination from Europe. |
