LAS 213 - Latin America: The Assault of Its Natural World

3 Credit Hours
This sophomore seminar seeks to explore the myth and reality of Latin America through a discussion of the impact of the collision of the European and American worlds at the end of the 15th century. During this period, Native Americans, Europeans and Africans would be brought into direct contact and often violent confrontations. This resulted in the oftentimes careless exploitation of the natural resources of Latin America and in doing so would alter the course of history of this region. This course will identify and trace key features and trends of this part of world. The lessons learned from this story will assist us in taking responsibility for shaping the future of our natural world.

Prerequisite(s): Completion of a first-year seminar.
