Nuevo México Profundo – Indo-Hispano Narratives of Conquest and De-Conquest

Course Description:

Explore the evolution of the history and the changing paradigms around New Mexico’s hegemonic multi-culturalism with the University of New Mexico’s former director of Chicano Hispano Mexicano Studies, Enrique Lamadrid.

From triumphalist accounts of Spanish conquest and re-conquest to contemporary battles surrounding the tri-cultural myth of the region, this course introduces participants to the power of collective memory in shaping the historical narratives within a contested region at the edges of empire, where conquerors are conquered in turn, and where discourses of power have morphed into discourses of survival. As Lamadrid notes, “Indo-Hispano cultural knowledge has much to contribute to a global conversation about the limits of empire in our own times.”
