    1. In order to add more courses in each category, or create a new line in the same category, press "Shift+Enter" to create a line break. Pressing just the Enter/Return key will create a new category instead. If you accidentally create a new category, press the backspace key to go back.

We will pay particular attention to certain countries (Argentina, Peru, and Guatemala), but students will be allowed to develop their own interests in a final paper. Key topics include the Cold War; violence and memory; environmentalism; and truth commissions and justice.  Students will be asked to write two take-home papers of 3 pages as well as one 5-7-page paper.   Or, students may petition to write a single, 11-13-page paper. There will also be a map quiz, a mid-term, and final.  

  • Graduate Seminars
  • HIS 201I: Sources & General Literature of History: Latin America Since 1810 - Professor Reséndez
    Seminar—3 hour(s); Term Paper. Designed primarily for students preparing for higher degrees in history. Latin America since 1810.
    Topic: Mexico
    Description: The historiography of Mexico rightly showcases a unique nation, but it can also be too inward looking at times. This graduate seminar will survey Mexico’s long and tumultuous history in a global context. It will examine Mexico’s colonization by the most powerful European empire of the early modern era, its close ties to Asia across the Pacific from the sixteenth through the nineteenth centuries, its fluid relations with Native American societies across North America, its continent-shaping war with the United States in 1846-48, the “secret war” waged from the United States and Europe that Mexico endured in the course of the revolution of 1910-1920, and its vibrant student movement of 1968 similar to what occurred in other countries but that ended in a massacre. Mexico’s history was both local and global, as it occurred everywhere else.
