(CRN ) Scholars often position the United States and the Hispanic world as being antithetical. In reality, these two diverse entities have a complex, shared past, which often overlapped and produced both tensions and moments of emulation. HIST 294 will explore this history from the colonial period to the present. Topics under discussion will include the Spanish colonization of the Americas, U.S.-Spanish relations during the Revolutionary War, interactions in the Spanish-American borderlands, U.S. incursions into Latin America, the Spanish-American War, Hispanic immigration to the United States, the impact of Spanish art and architecture, and U.S. investment throughout Latin America. Three credits.
