History is often understood in terms of individual nations – their distinct cultures and individual histories. Borderland histories, by contrast, examine the human spaces and practices where societies meet, blend, and clash. How did people living in the North American Southwest, for example, see themselves in relation to European empires, indigenous cultures, and nation-states? How did indigenous people in South America’s southern cone respond to Chilean and Argentinean expansion into their territories? This course explores historical case studies of borderlands in the Río Grande/Bravo region and the Southern Cone, and challenges the conceptual nature of borderlands. Fall, odd-numbered years.
