This course will survey the history of the cultures and civilizations of Latin America from its first inhabitation to the independence period in the nineteenth century. Six major themes will be addressed: the development of the great Amerindian civilizations, the encounter between Europeans and Amerindians, the making of a colonial society in Spanish America and Brazil, the struggles leading to the collapse of colonial rule, and the civil wars of independence. The main focus of this survey is to provide an understanding of how the complex interaction between the different cultures that met in the Americas shaped these colonial societies, and how some elements of this legacy persisted and/or were transformed by different social groups before and after independence.
Pre-requisites: none.

HIS 247 - History of Latin America II Semester Hours: 3
This course will survey the history of the cultures and civilizations of Latin America from the Independence era (c. 1830) to the present. This period witnessed the development of independent nations that remained economically dependent. Over time Latin American countries have become key players in international affairs. The course will focus on how social movements both reflected and drove these major transformations. Areas of concern will include the social implications of various models of economic development, the opportunities and problems which result from economic ties to wealthy countries, changing ethnic, gender, and class relations in Latin America, and the diverse efforts of Latin American people to construct stable and equitable political systems. The general approach of the course will be thematic but examples will be drawn from the histories of various Latin American countries, including Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Peru, Cuba, and Venezuela. The course will suggest ways in which an understanding of historical processes is absolutely essential in the understanding of current conflicts and social and political aspirations.
Pre-requisites: none.

HIS 250 - History of the Civil Rights Movement Semester Hours: 3
This course will explore the history of the Civil Rights movement, starting in the 1950s with the struggle for school desegregation, culminating in the Brown vs. Board of Education decision in 1954. The following summer, the Emmet Till murder in Mississippi shocked the nation and by year’s end Rosa Parks had initiated the Montgomery Bus Boycott in Alabama, led by the Rev. Martin Luther King. In 1957, President Eisenhower ordered troops to protect nine black students trying to go to a desegregated school in Little Rock, Arkansas. By the early sixties, the movement had diversified, producing Freedom Riders who challenged segregated transportation systems in the South, Malcolm X and the Nation of Islam who galvanized large numbers of African Americans in the urban North. Lunch counter sit-ins across the south confronted Jim Crow social norms, and new student-led organizations such as Student Non-Violent Co-ordinating Committee (SNCC) pushed for more immediate change. The March on Washington in 1963 set the stage for the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Freedom Summer sent civil rights workers into the deep south to try and register African Americans to vote in 1964. Mass marches in Selma and Birmingham, AL provoked police brutality and ultimately led to the 1965 Voting Rights Act. After 1965 the movement started to come apart. Black Power leaders like Stokely Carmichael emerged as a radical new face of the movement and they endured fervent opposition from a fearful white population and more conservative voices within the Civil Rights movement. The Black Panthers started as a community organization in Oakland, CA, but they were viewed as a threat by law enforcement who killed many of its leaders, providing a bloody end to the movement. Please note: Students taking the 400-level version of this course will be required to read an additional book and complete a 10-page research paper.
Pre-requisites: none.
