Breve descriptor:
The course deals with the three periods of Hispanic presence in the territories that currently make up the U.S.: Spanish, Mexican, and Anglo. In the first one, the course will study the determining factors that originated the first expeditions and the subsequent interest (18th century) of those territories for the Spanish Crown; the study of the Mexican Period will focus mainly on the governmental policies during the decades of Mexican sovereignty. Finally, historical, sociological, cultural, political and economic studies of the different Hispanic minorities (Mexican-Americans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, others) in the present United States will be addressed. The central objective is to know the historical importance that Spain had in the territories north of the Rio Grande River and to trace the roots of the different Hispanic groups present in contemporary American society, emphasizing their current importance in all social orders. To this end, a wide variety of graphic documentation (videos) and verbal and non-verbal texts will be used. Special attention will be given to the social, cultural, and artistic manifestations of the different Hispanic groups of today.
It is expected that different specialists and guests will be invited throughout the course.
