This course examines the forms of conquest and colonization practiced in Mesoamerica and the Andes by the Aztec, Inca, and Spanish empires over five hundred years, from the thirteenth to the eighteenth centuries. We will examine three sets of questions. First, do terms like “conquest” and “colonial” refer to simple relationships between dominator and oppressed, or do they refer to more ambiguous and contested processes? Second, why did certain civilizations rise to prominence and dominate others? Third, what is the legacy of these historical processes for the world we live in today?
