Order Description
Interpretations of the human past are constantly changing, as new sources are made available –
such as demonstrated in the film Catastrophe – and old biases are revised. This exercise
introduces you to examples of these processes of early cultural observation from the past
(Jesuit Relations) and changing interpretations of the past (Seven Myths of the Spanish
Conquest and Cracking the Maya Code).
Prepare a report of three pages, typed and double-spaced, that summarizes important themes
from these sources:
Texts:
The Jesuit Relations, edited by Alan Greer
Seven Myths of the Spanish Conquest, by Matthew Restall
Video:
Cracking the Maya Code
