Description
This unit will challenge the Eurocentric narrative that describes a peaceful, progressive colonialism of Latin America. It will allow students to explore the colonial history in the perspective of Indigenous authors and populations. The lessons will allow students to deconstruct concepts and terminology often used in the master narratives. Students will be able to take the information of these indigenous populations’ narratives.
