HIST 392 - Mexican History

This course surveys the history of Mexico from the earliest human inhabitation to the present. A goal is to understand Mexico from the perspective of the Mexicans rather than from the point of view of the United States. It is important to understand, however, that Mexico is not a singular homogenous entity; there are “many Mexicos.” In particular, this course emphasizes the creation of Mexican identities, the role which Indigenous peoples and women have played in that creation, and how that role has changed over time.
