Colonial Renegades in Yucatán

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

"Gonzalo Guerrero's Offspring. Colonial Renegades in Yucatán." This is a seminar that focuses on a selection of historical and literary narratives about the figure of Guerrero (the Spanish conquistador that went native and fought on the side of the Maya) as well as on what I call Guerrero's progeny: a series of renegades who - like Guerrero in the 16th century - went native and ended up fighting against different forms of colonialism since the 16th century until today.
