ANTH 50.35 The World Turned Upside Down: An Indigenous History of the Andes after the Spanish Invasion

This course will explore the tension between insiders and outsiders, colonizers and the colonized, Westerners and Natives. Students will examine not only what these tensions meant for the people of the Andes – in the countries of Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador (and to a lesser extent Chile and Colombia) - but also in what ways similar phenomena occurred in North America and other parts of the world. Among other things, students will investigate differences between insider and outsider accounts, primary and secondary sources, history and archaeology, etc. - while acknowledging the strengths and limitations of these different sources and approaches.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
