About This Book

The syllabus outlines an introductory, one-year course in Hispanic-American history emphasizing institutional and economic development. It surveys Spanish and Portuguese colonial systems and their legacy, the processes of emancipation and formation of republics, struggles for political stability, resource exploitation, and contemporary diplomatic and trade relations. Course structure combines lectures, readings from a multi-source bibliography, recitations, student reports, and a research essay, with recommended general and country studies, bibliographies, and official publications for further study. The emphasis is on comprehensive coverage within time limits, with selection toward institutional and economic topics rather than detailed political chronology.
