This course will examine the culture and history of the Andes from the pre-colonial era through modern day Bolivia and Peru. Emphasis will be placed on the lives and experiences of the indigenous populations with a focus on their strength, resistance, and resilience. Evaluating, analyzing, and understanding indigenous reactions and responses to the impositions of the colonial and imperial rule of the Spanish to the more current policies of the mestizo elite, serve as the basis of this course.
