Course Description
This course will introduce students to the richness and diversity of the cultures of Spanish America from their inception to the present. Such a large project requires a selection of themes that will reveal the political, social and artistic components that contributed to the unique cultural development of Spanish America. Students will have reading assignments from our text which will provide basic background information. This information will be complemented by guided readings on the Internet and film viewings. Students will be responsible for contributing additional information to class discussions found through Internet links or traditional library materials. Class time will be spent predominantly analysing the material read and discussing its relevance to the development of Spanish American culture and civilization.
