This course aims to read, understand and interpret poetry and prose from the so-called "colonial" period in regions where a way of life and expression was imposed on native societies and communities by viceroyalties. In addition, the very notions of "conquest" and "colonization" are discussed from the perspective of Latin American studies, focusing on the political, social and cultural processes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries and their impact on the communities and peoples that experienced colonial violence and subordination. 

This class is about writing and academic inquiry, with a special emphasis on literature. Good arguments stem from good questions, and academic essays allow writers to write their way toward answers, toward figuring out what they think. In this writing course, students focus on the creation of complex, analytic, well-supported arguments addressing questions that matter in academic contexts. 

This course offers 90 hours of elementary study of Spanish language for students at a B1.1 to B2.2 level, according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
