Women in Colonial Latin America
[ send me this paper ]
a 6 page research paper which examines the role of women in colonial Latin America. The colonial world of Latin America was intrinsically different from that of North America and this difference had a tremendous impact on the women of Latin America at that time. Although North America was rich in natural resources, the natives of North America did not have the gold of the Incas or the Aztecs. Consequently, the Europeans that came to North America's shores came to colonize-they brought women with them. Those early Europeans, specifically the Spanish, that came to Latin America did so solely for the purposes of exploitation, not for colonization. Because of this, the Spanish conquerors typically did not bring women with them from Europe. The writer argues that the native women in colonial Latin America were viewed by Europeans as simply one more resources that they could exploit. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

2 books on Latin America
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page research paper that compares and contrasts 2 texts on Latin American economics. The two texts profiled are Latin America at the Crossroads by H.J. Wiarda (1987) and Fast Forward, Latin America on the Edge of the 21st Century (1997). A through overview of each text is offered, and then the texts are contrasted for quality and content, which are--in both cases -- very good. However, the final assessment in regards to these texts is that their greatest drawback, in regards to applicability by the reader, is that neither book addresses current Latin American realities as one is 17 years out-of-date and the other is 7. No additional sources cited.
