Rationale for
Changes or
Exceptions:

THIS COURSE SIGNIFICANTLY EXPANDS COVERAGE OF COLONIAL LATIN AMERICAN LITERATURE WITHIN THE SPANISH CURRICULUM, AND PRESENTS A COMPLEX AND BALANCED APPROACH TO THE PERIOD. IT DRAWS FROM A RANGE OF TEXTS, INCLUDING HISTORY AND HISTORIOGRAPHY, LITERATURE AND CRITICISM, AND FILM, TO PROVIDE A BASIS FOR THE ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION OF THE PERIOD.
