Class Detail

Familiarizes students with depictions and descriptions of identity during the colonial period in the Spanish Americas across four major regions: Central Mexico, the Yucatan Peninsula, Peru, and New Mexico. Themes such as the casta system, Indigenous survivance and resistance, the changing role of women in public and private spheres, the role of Black confraternities and slave rebellions. The ways society became increasingly diverse in terms of class, gender, and race are highlighted, as well as the impact of invasion, subsequent military violence, and how colonial legal system impacted communities. Students examine how different identities emerged and how they experienced conflict and transformation as a result of political, social, cultural, economic, and religious change.
