D01 | Topics: Pueblo, navajo and Hispano- An Historical Geography of he American Southwest | TR | 3:25-5 | Flynn | Winter Semester 2008 |
Among the many regions of the United States, the Southwest, especially New Mexico and the Four Corners area, is among the most fascinating. This course focuses on selected Native American Indian peoples, including the Pueblo groups (e.g., Hopi, Zuni, Acoma, San Ildefonso, Taos), their ancestors (often called the Anasazi or Ancestral Peublo), and the Navajo, as well as on the Spanish explorers and settlers and their descendants, known in New Mexico as the Hispano. We will study their relationships with nature, their religious and cultural beliefs and practices, their arts and architecture, and their settlement patterns and economies. These peoples have often been in contact, and sometimes in conflict, with one another and with more recent entrants to the region and we examine these relationships. In part of the course, we also consider the transformation of these cultures over the past two centuries through the explorations, military intrusions, and significant influences of Americans (sometimes called Anglos) from outside the region. We will consider and discuss elements of art and literature of the region, especially from the past century.
Course activities will include interesting readings (in history, geography, anthropology, archaeolgoy, arts, fiction), lectures illustrated with large numbers of photographs and artistic images, lively discussions, and perhpas enjoyment of some regional foods.
Registration is for 4 credits. This course can count for Social Science credit (GEOG 2994, section D01, CRN 21162), for History credit (HIST 2994, section D03, CRN 20472), or in the Critical Studies of Race/Ethnicity major (CRST 2994, section D03. CRN 20456)
