Description
Some historians point to the year 1492 as one or perhaps the major turning point in the history of humankind. Historical changes on many levels soon followed the initial voyages of Columbus, leading to the globalised world that we now inhabit. This lecture will provide a detailed overview of the political, economic, social and cultural histories of Latin America prior to colonisation by European powers. These histories should provide greater understanding of the clashes and fusions that occurred in the centuries following the Columbian encounter, which continue to influence life across the planet.
