All of the texts are available at the Emory University Bookstore and are on reserve in the Woodruff Library at the dirculation desk. All texts are required. In addition to the above texts, you will have occasional photocopied reading assignments on reserve in the library, and handouts in class. This course will explore the European conquest of the New World, and specifically, within that time and place, the elements of race and race mixing, gender and sex roles and politics.
All papers are due at the end of class on the day indicated by the course calendar.
These essays will review, compare, and contrast the three previous texts on the syllabus. These are not research papers. You will need to engage the material presented in the texts, demonstrate your understanding of it and review it. I encourage you to find other review articles in scholarly periodicals if you have any questions about the style and form of these assignments. If you have any questions about your writing you will want to consult guides like Strunk and White's The Elements of Style or visit the Writing Lab on campus.
